Taft Head Women's Basketball Coach Romeo Lagmay, Jr. commented, "Though it was a lopsided win, I still give credit for Coach Pharr and his team still wanting to compete and keeping his team intact pushing for improvement, and not backing down. I have lots of respect for that. Some teams just forfeit. Taft Basketball is continuing to do better as well, and I am just thankful for all the support we are getting from those in the community and campus just because of the historical suffering this program had to deal with within nearly the past two decades."
