"This week's practices were great," Dickerson said, "The tempo was up and the players heads weren't held low."

Coach Dickerson noted after last week’s game that all of the issues that held the Redbirds back last week are indeed “fixable.”

"It's definitely not the end of the world," Dickerson said, "We hope to head out to Quincy and show them what we've got."
