Laux said he definitely thought his team had improved from the beginning of the year.
"Calhoun has size, and the athletes, and in a game on Dec. 20 at Staunton, Bryce Coalson was 10 of 11 from the three-point line. We have six kids who are capable of putting the ball in the basket. Our scoring is very balanced, and we have been playing solid defensively."
