COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Really proud that we put up some big numbers offensively again. Jacey Crum had a big night and Kilee Preece came off the bench with maybe her best game this season, we had 19 assists which means we are sharing the ball and making shots. We had balanced night scoring with three in double figures and two or three close to ten points. We got into some foul trouble early but everyone contributed to a good region road win.”
“… I thought against Ritchie County was one of our better efforts but the Law girl was a load to handle for us. They have a good team but couldn’t get over the hump. We trailed early and cut it to one late but never could get the lead. They are a top ten team and we know that we can compete with anyone. Our schedule has been brutal with a bunch of road games. We have put them through the meat grinder with 3A teams, 2A teams, Kentucky teams, Ohio teams and long road trips but these girls haven’t wavered o e time this season.”
