We were 7-for-19 from the line. We did not do a good job of making free throws and although we had more field goals, we didn't box out well.

We probably have 10 to 12 guys on our basketball team that will have 40 quarters of experience for next year. If we can get a win (Friday) it will give us some momentum. For any kind of win will help us with the season we're having. It's able to keep the kids energized and excited about coming to practice and the players have done a good job.

I think they're predominantly, as far as their personnel, very similar. Banks is their leading scorer, but they have some other consistent players.

We have good moments, but inevitably there will be times where we just let down on both ends. We're shooting poorly from the field, and we don't get to the free-throw line. Mix all those things in, those games we lost by four or five points are because of inconsistency.

It's hard for anybody to get real positive when the team is losing. I've been pleased with how the kids practice. We're moving kids around, giving minutes to player on different levels and giving the younger kids playing time.

Chillicothe is getting a lot better. They are a team we match up well with and Grove City doesn't. But Grove City is still the class of the league, and losing to Chillicothe was tough for them. I'm sure they've rebounded well from that.

We want to win all the games we have left. To do that we have to become more consistent. I'm proud of how the kids have handled themselves and we are getting much better. It has not shown in wins and losses, but I'm hoping it will this year.

They didn't have a great regular season, but they still have a chance to make something out of it. It comes down to what team executes and who wants to extend your season. It's their time to go out and make something special of the end of your year.
