“We both started slow offensively,” said coach
Jake Walls. “JMA played a zone defense and we missed a lot of open shots.
We finally hit our stride and made a good run but could not finish the
game.”
“We played a faster pace in the second half as we tried
to press them and make them run a little bit,” said Walls.” We had
the ball with 15 seconds left and down by one. We ran a set and the ball got knocked into the hands of a
JMA defender.”
