Emanuel Dolph said of the trip, "Spring break was especially enjoyable getting to know the guys while traveling down south. The guys had a commitment to doing well and looking to show God to all of our opponents. really great to talk to other teams and hear them say that they like playing us because we were honest and enjoy playing."
