"We got off to a slow start and had too many unforced turnovers and dug a hole we couldn't quite get out of," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "I was very proud of how we responded both offensively and defensively in the second half. In the end they executed and made some clutch shots down the stretch and we lost to a very good bunch of hard working kids..
