COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Boyd Co. manhandled us tonight, they are really experienced and run their stuff to perfection, also very well coached by Randy Anderson, they shot lights out and when they missed, they were more physical getting to rebounds and really pushed us around tonight.”
“Really proud of the effort Monday night on the road, we matched a good Greenup Co. team shot for shot and came away with the victory..” We have a couple games left to prepare us for the tournament and hopefully we are ready.”
