Against both of those teams, the girls played extremely hard. It was a very difficult competition and I couldn’t ask for any more than what we ask from our girls,? said Head Coach Steve Emert.
They have given everything they have everyday all year with no complaints.?
Emert noted that they knew it would be difficult this year in the OAA Red, but he said that where his players belong where they ‘always play with integrity and pride.?
‘Clarkston and Lathrup are ranked in the top ten in the state rankings. ‘They are very talented, quick and we’ll coached teams,? he added. ‘Many in this area do not understand that caliber of basketball that we go against.?
The girls will travel to Rochester tomorrow (Feb. 18) night to take on Rochester Adams High School.
