Quotes from John Adams
“We were disappointed that we couldn’t build off our momentum from our West Lyon win but give Sioux Center credit, they were the more aggressive team from the opening tip. We let them get way too comfortable and they put on an offensive clinic in that second quarter. I was proud of how we kept playing hard in the second half. Ava was great on the glass to get 11 rebounds as a guard. We’ll learn from this and get ready for the stretch run.”
