Disappointing -vs- Disappointed
Last night we were soundly defeated by Perham(60 to 22). Our weaknesses as a team were exposed by a team that should do well in the Heart O’ Lakes conference.
I’m not disappointed in my players in the least bit. We all know and understand that we need to continue to improve if we want to compete with teams like Perham. The girls worked hard and did not quit. . . they did their best to do the best they could.
The game was disappointing. After our victory against LPA. . . who by the way lost another overtime game to Hawley last night. . . we hoped that we were ready to handle the challenges that Perham would bring. Two of the three major areas of concern I had from our first game hurt us in this game.
We allowed too many offensive rebounds and had too many turnovers against LPA. Because LPA shot so poorly they did not capitalize on these two downfalls. We once again turned the ball over a lot and also were dominated on the boards by a strong – athletic Yellowjacket squad. Perham took advantage of our breakdowns and took advantage of the extra opportunities that they were given.
The determination that our girls have to get from where we are at right now to where we need to be is going to be key for our future success. We need to get better and with hard work we will.
