COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We are having the worst luck. We have the lead by 1 and had led the entire game until the last 13 seconds, played the best we’ve played in a week. But deserved to win. Played so well except the last minute.. gotta learn from it and hopefully that’ll help us for this weekend.”
“… The games against Raceland and Magoffin we really struggled to get into any kind of rhythm offensively. Struggled on both ends of the floor. We are definitely a work in progress and all we can do is keep working. We have the rest of this week and next to get ourselves ready for the district tournament.”
