COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It was great to get a win at home against Coal Grove on Friday night. First half of that game we were a little sluggish, but came out and played much better in the second half. We lost to a good Morgan County team on Saturday. Although we didn’t win, I was proud of our guys for fighting.
“…Morgan is a very dangerous team with 5 shooters on the floor at all times. Felt like we played the best we have at times throughout that game.
“…Schedule doesn’t get any easier as we go through December, but we have a team that is good enough to handle it and come out of the month better than we were going into it!”
