"We' just excited to play such good competition and we know we're going to have to get better and play at the highest level we've ever played at to compete this Friday night and the games after that," Head Coach Chad Moseman said.  "So, we're excited because you can't be the best unless you beat the best and that's our goal here at Lawton-Bronson.
