COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Proud of the way we played in a huge game for us. Needed this one. Still struggling to get back on our transition defense and giving up too many easy buckets especially in the second quarter when Belfry took the lead going to halftime. We have to do a better job moving forward.” Roblee killed us again tonight from behind the arc just like he did the first meeting at Belfry.” Pike Central is very athletic and skilled and as given us trouble in the past. We need both games this week to have a chance at the one seed.” Hope to see a good crowd on Thursday night.”
