Free throws killed us and we missed some chippie lay-ups.

I knew we would probably start slow (offensively). The one thing we stressed this week was defense. A constant effort on defense should be there all the time. That's what kept us in the game early. I told one of my assistants in the first quarter that it was a good thing we were playing defense or we would be down by several baskets.

Anytime you lose your point guard, that's a killer. It's a shame, and you hate it when something like that happens. That young lady was doing a great job for them.

We only have one senior. But at this point they've played enough games for that to not be a problem. On the 20th, we played High Point Central at home and played great. But we played poorly (Tuesday) and again (Wednesday).
