...What a tremendous home win for us against a team that’s been playing really well—a tough team to prepare for and to play against,” head coach Tommy Amaker said. “I told our kids that I was impressed with how they handled this game.

His brother Steven, a U.S. Army staff sergeant with 16 years in the service, was killed when an IED hit his unit's Humvee outside the Iraqi city of Bayji in 2005. One daughter just got out of the Army after eight years of service, while...
