Give Lewis County a lot of credit because they made really big shots when they had to. We had our opportunities late to tie but we didn't get it done. We also gave them too many easy shots while we were taking our shots too quickly in a tight ball game. We need to play a lot better defensively and rebound the ball better. |
Give Ripley credit for battling and Woodward hit four huge threes in the first half. |
I already know you guys are winners and I don't need a trophy or a 20-win season to tell me that. Good things will come to you in life because you are winners and you can be on my team anytime. |
I have never been more proud of any team I have ever been a part of. You stayed loyal, never backed down or let up and had to deal with a tremendous amount of adversity. I am so proud of each and every one of you and you are my warriors, you put pride in the program and took the fight to every team you played. You define the word character by how you reacted to adversity. |
Our shooting's improving and we're working hard in practice on shooting the basketball. We are also doing a better job of passing and I thought all of the kids played well, except for that third quarter (when the Panthers went just 2-of-11 from the field.) We've got to take these scoring droughts out of the equation. |
