Quotes from John Adams
We came out with great energy and executed really well in that first quarter. I liked the looks we got in the second quarter, we just didn’t knock them down and give Sioux Center credit, they shot the ball really well and hurt us on the glass to take control of the game. Zoey Holmes gave us some great minutes off the bench, Lynnae hit some deep threes for us and Makenna continues to shoot the ball with a ton of confidence, which is great to see. We’ll learn from this game and get ready for a busy week with four games coming up in six days.
