COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Tough loss to a really good Russell team at home last week. Played well enough to win but didn’t find a way to finish the game late. Bad first half really set us back in that game.
“…I couldn’t be happier with the way our boys responded in a district game with Prestonsburg Friday night. It was nice to see shots go through the net and hopefully that is something we will see more of moving forward.
“…I hope we are nearing full health. Hopefully Kaiden Harris will be able to start playing soon. We are looking forward to having him back out there with us. Very happy with how some of our guys stepped up in his absence, it will only make us better down the stretch!”
