MHS Coach Hannam was pleased with the performance but says there is still room for improvements to be made “We seem to have a run of high finishes going, but I would really rather be winning some of these tournaments. Kirksville and us have been going back and forth all season long.　We’ve beaten them in two tournaments, they’ve beaten us in three tournaments after today, and we’ve split in our dual matches.　Wednesday at districts at Innsbrook we will need to beat them to be able to win a district title, so hopefully it’s our turn to win.”
