We have had a rough road recently. We are now 5-2 in the conference and have our 11th win. This will be our 20th year with a winning record so we are proud of that. The kids have worked hard and I think this five game stretch is going to help us in the long run.
We needed to get off to a better start. This game was much different than the one against Twin Lakes. There was a lot of tough man-to-man defense and apparently they weren't fouling. We had our chances, but we didn't hit the open shot when we needed it most.
We had a 6 1/2-hour ride home one night during a storm. Another time our game was postponed and we ended up playing at 8 a.m. We left York at 5:30.
It was just nice all around play tonight. The kids got a lead and then kept their composure. The Peru game really helped prepare us for Western's pressure. We now have control over our own destiny in the conference.
Gray was a very good game for us. It was a good way to bounce back after Lake Region. We had a lot of balanced scoring and we played solid defense. Part of our offense comes off our defense and if we lose that, we?re in trouble. We had both going for us against Gray.
