COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Tough night for our team in the District championship at Betsy Layne. Anytime you shoot 20% from the floor it makes things extremely difficult. But at the same time, when you have bad shooting nights you have to find other ways to win the game. Thankfully, we are fortunate enough to play in the regional tournament in Pikeville at the Expo Center. Come out and support these fine young men as we take on a very good Paintsville team on Tuesday night at 8:15!”
