Coach Speak
"Having John (Coach Franklin) back feels a little like Billy Hoyle and Sydney Dean running two's in Venice," began Head Coach Cameron Hill. "While both men brought very different life experiences to the team, the hustle was real. So even though his mother's an astronaut, and I can't hear Jimmy, when the game is on the line, I wouldn't bet against us. We goin' Sizzler! ONWARD!"

Up Next
Trinity will complete its road trip with the third game in four days for the team, taking on Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges (CA) at 2:00 p.m. (PT) on Sunday, November 24, in Claremont, California.
