Coach Matthew Wilson: The boys fought incredibly hard against two of the top teams in SPC this week Though we came up short at St. John’s, the boys won a thrilling game Friday night at the buzzer. Down 10, with less than two minutes to go, the team mounted a furious rally. Behind by two in the final seconds, Jeremiah Parquet found Jackson Williams who sank a three as time expired. It marks the first time the Dragons have beaten Houston Christian in SPC play. In addition, the boys secured the first back-to-back above .500 records in SPC since 2006. We are so proud of the boys’ effort and resiliency.
