COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We had a great game plan last time. They shot 80% on 2pt fgs. We had 21 turnovers. But we shot 60% from three point land. So the game plan this time around is to hold them under 80% on 2pt fgs, Keep our turnovers under 20, and and hit a bunch of 3’s.”
“… Tough environment for us, that place will be packed with Floyd Central fans.”
