“I was very pleased with the effort the guys played with (Thursday),” Patterson coach Ryan Taylor said. “We did a good job of keeping pressure on them both offensively and defensively. We relaxed a little in the second half and allowed E.D. White to get into a rhythm which caused it to turn into a dogfight at the end. But the guys did a good job of keeping their composure and executing at the end.”
