“We knew coming in this was going to be a tough game, especially after playing a such a big game last night,” Andalusia head coach Anthony Clark said. “I was proud that our guys had the ability to grind it out and had the will to win. I was proud of the effort. Right now, we are fatigued and tomorrow is just going to be a film day for us.”

Clark said that several players stood out in the Bulldogs’ win.

“I was really proud of the way Trey (Wilkerson) played tonight,” Clark said. “He played much better tonight. Guys like Undre Johnson and Roosevelt Weaver did a great job giving us some good minutes so that we could rest Ethan (Wilson) and some of our other guards. That is going to be something that is very important for us down the stretch and it allows us to save some legs.”

The Bulldogs will be back in action on Friday with a road game against Escambia County.
