Head Coach Jared Marshall had this to say, "I am happy with where we are at right now. Some times we don't make it look easy but we have certainly found a way to get the job done. We have had different guys step up every night and contribute in their own ways. We just need to continue to improve each day."

The Royals have a tough home matchup on Wednesday, January 27th against Dawson CC.
