Coach Fess and Coach Edwards have done a great job changing the culture for Caldwell basketball during the past few years. We owe a lot of our teams success to them.” As well, Pierce mentioned the “very talented players including starters who are underclassmen, an overall complete package with Hank Morgan, and a tough big man in Will Raslowsky.”
