Eighth girls grab a win JV girls come up short video said PCMS Head Coach Eric Knight. "Those two things are something we have got to get better at.

"The first half of this game started out very slow. We missed a lot of easy layups again. After halftime I think a different group of girls came out of the locker room. Their defense was tons better and we knocked down some lay-ups. Sydney Brooks and Jo Whitehead both had a good game driving the ball and opening up the floor for others. We are still struggling at the free throw line, but that is something we will work on at practice. This team is getting better every game," said Coach Knight.
