COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Started off the week with a tough loss at Pikeville. We didn’t play our best that game and still had a chance to win. We didn’t do a very good job with shot selection and our offense was very stagnant that night. We followed that up with a good practice the next day where we really hammered some offensive stuff.
“…Had a great win last night at Prestonsburg. Anytime you can go in and get a district win, you will gladly take it. Proud of this team and look forward to the Christmas tournaments.”
