“…Tough loss to a very nice Magoffin county team on the road Thursday evening. We felt like we competed well for 28 of the 32 minutes in that game. But during a bad 4 minute spell, Magoffin was able to go on a good run that we were never able to recover from. Hats off to them.”
“… Bounced back well at LMS on Monday night against Wayne. Had a lot of young guys step up and give us valuable minutes. It was nice playing at a fast pace. Hopefully that is something we can continue doing going into the postseason.”
“…We have a very good Belfry team coming to us Thursday night. We are certainly looking forward to that challenge. Then it’s all eyes on the district tournament as we play Prestonsburg at Betsy Layne on Monday night.”
