In His Words

Cochise Head Coach Jerry Carrillo

"We were very proud of our guys for bouncing back on Saturday to beat a very well-coached CSN team on their home floor after a very tough loss on Friday night. We did go 2-1 on our long road trip, so we are in a good place for final push of the season in the next few weeks. We just love coaching this group."
