After Friday’s game Neal discussed Forestview’s next opponent with the Gaston Gazette, “It’s always a big game against South Point. We snuck out with a win last year over there. But that was last year and this is a new year. The best thing is that we’re peaking at the right time. I hope we can keep the momentum going that we’ve gotten the last few weeks.”

In the fourth quarter Scott’s Zachary team was down 46-34, but the Orange commit stayed positive. After leading his team to a come from behind victory he told The New Orleans Advocate: “No matter how many points we’re down, the mentality is we’re coming back to get that W, and that’s our focus.”
