Coach Jernigan Says…

"Congrats to North Greenville for not ever giving up on the match. We were in control for most of the match, but just couldn't close the door on them.  We definitely had some rust since we haven't played a match in 14 days but we had the chance to win at the end of the day. We just have to get mentally tough and shut the door on our opponents."
