"UAPB is playing a lot better than when we played them the first time," said Head Coach Freda Freeman-Jackson.  "They played us tough at their place, so I expect them to do the same thing here, but we are going to have to play just as tough and just as hard in order to get the win.  That's why it's so important that we get off to a good start tomorrow, so that we can knock some of that momentum off in the beginning of the game."
 
Saturday is slated as Honor Roll day for all elementary students, who made grades of B's or A's on their report card the first and second nine weeks of school.
