“I was disappointed because we were just outplayed physically,” the coach said, adding, “At the end, our defense knew what plays were coming, but we couldn’t stop them. Offensively, we just don’t execute consistently enough to score a lot of points.”
The coach said, “I’m having a lot of fun coaching this group. I see them maturing and improving and I’m excited for the games in front of them and what they will accomplish in the years to come.”
