From the Coaches Corner:
Poolesvilles Falcons Head Coach Tom Lang: Says ”we played good, it was a tough game, we lost to the last two teams, because they just played better than us, we just got to make our free throws, it was a close game we played hard, they played harder, we just came up short”
Seneca Valleys Tom Sheahin: Says “we felt really good, they beat a lot of good teams, we lost our center to a college visit so we asked our guards to help with rebounding, they got easy basket from rebounding, we were 1 for 6 from the free throw line ending the game, we need to work on that, we won 11 out of 9, were shooting for the first round bye”.
