The win was the 700th for Jim Dooley, Delone’s colorful, and very good, coach. It’s an even bigger mismatch than expected. Trinity has two 6-4 junior bigs, Brandon Kuntz and Josh Trump, who move well and are very active on both ends, and for whom Columbia has nothing resembling an antidote.” – Sunday News
