They did a good job taking their time. They had four or five guys who were able to handle the ball better than I thought they could. If you can mix and match lineups to beat a press, it makes a big difference.

Osage had a very tough week with three quality opponents. We are disappointed we didn't win all three, but the kids had great effort.

Charles City played a great game against Osage Tuesday. We played much better Friday and hope to play even better as the season goes on.

I told the kids at halftime that it's get after it on defense or our season is ending.

Osage has a tough week coming up.

We are super proud of our players and their efforts. We will need to have a good week of practice this week to prepare for play against an excellent team from Fort Dodge.

Osage had a very tough game against Lake Mills. Lake Mills has a very good team and is very well coached.

Our kids did a tremendous job in coming through down the stretch. Both teams could have won the game. It was an excellent high school basketball game.
