COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Had to play short handed for the second tournament in a row. Lucas Maynard and Derek Larimer missed all the three games and Baden Gillispie missed the first one.”
“… Yeah we only had 7 players vs East Carter. Had a small lead the whole game then missed a shot at the end to win it.”
