” It’s a confidence thing. It becomes contagious and hopefully we can carry that into our next game,” Saints coach Johnny Wiggs said.
The Saints now tie for second place in the conference with Seminole State College of Florida and will look to continue their eight game win streak when they face St. Johns River State College in an away conference game Wednesday night.
