"I was proud of the team's effort today," Head Coach Marty Eggleston said.  "I would give us a grade of B-minus.  It was the first game and we are learning how to play with and for each other.  They are also learning that they have to be business-minded," Eggleston added. 

The Commodores are now 1-0 and play next weekend (Nov. 10-11) at the Westmoreland Tournament.
