COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We played 2 tough district games this week. After we struggled on the road last week we challenged our girls to elevate their defense and rebounding this week. We knew those aspects of the game would be the difference in us winning or losing. Our girls stepped up and executed what we asked of them this week and we were able to come away with two big district wins. We want to continue to build on those wins moving forward. We will enjoy these two district wins for a day and then get our game plan together for Elliott County and another tough district game next Friday night at home against Prestonsburg.”
