"We came up Friday night and had a practice at a college. This morning, I felt good," Camden coach Rick Brunson said of his team, per NJ Advance Media's Kevin Minnick. "The guys were loose, and I knew we were ready. Against Montverde and those others, we second-guessed ourselves. Tonight, we were ready."
