COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We played our best half of the year and then lost our minds for about 4 minutes and played not to win. We had some costly turnovers that cost us in the end. They hit 5 three pointers in the fourth quarter alone. Tug Valley is a very good team that has a lot of firepower.”
“… Hopefully we learn from this game and use it to our advantage. We have a tough week coming up with Johnson Central and Floyd Central on Wednesday and Friday.”
