COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Today we shot the ball really well and that enabled us to take an early lead. We really defended and that helped build our lead as well. We finished strong and that’s what I challenged the girls to do and they stepped up to that challenge today.”
“… We’ve been coming here for a few years playing in the Carolina invitational. Charleston, SC is a beautiful area with a lot of history and we’ve been blessed to be able to share that with our kids. It’s always great to get away and play teams you don’t normally play. Gives us a reset and gets us ready for the toughest part of our schedule coming up. It’s been a blessing to be with these girls and their families. We’ve enjoyed traveling with the boys team and cheering them on. It’s been a great experience.”
“… We will rest up and get ready for the Class 2A tournament starting Tuesday night.”
Lawrence Co. Boys Head Coach Chandler Thompson
COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Always great to go out of town and be able to go 3-0. Very proud of our kids for the start that they have had to this season. The month of December has been very good to us. I still don’t feel like we have played as well as we are capable of playing, but being able to find ways to win is very encouraging.”
“… We have a tough month of January as we open the month up with Magoffin Co. Tuesday night. I’m excited to watch our team grow as we go into the second half of the season!”
