COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It was a great team effort against Paintsville. They have really improved over the last several years and they came to play. We were scoreless after the half and then went out and took a ton of shots. Things started going our direction and we were able to build a solid lead.”
“… Looking forward to a competitive week for the region semis and finals.”
“… Both teams have beaten us this season but we are ready for some rematches. The boys seem really focused and have some good energy going.”
