COACH’S COMMENTS
“…We battled again through out the entire game. Double overtime again and lose by 2. All of the situations will continue to help us get ready for post season play. Sure we want our record to be better than what it is but we’re playing very good teams and learning from each of them. I told the girls we just have to keep working to get better and get this monkey off our back. Friday’s district game is another important game. We’re gonna work the next few days to get ready for them.
