Chillicothe is getting a lot better. They are a team we match up well with and Grove City doesn't. But Grove City is still the class of the league as far as winning it, and losing to Chillicothe was tough for them. I'm sure they've rebounded from that.
I think they're predominantly, as far as their personnel, very similar. Banks is their leading scorer, but they have some other consistent players.
It's hard for anybody to get real positive when the team is losing. I've been pleased with how the kids practice. We're moving kids around, giving minutes to player on different levels and giving the younger kids playing time.
It's probably a lot of things, but mostly it's just for us consistency of play. We haven't consistently played well on defense or we haven't consistently played well on defense.
We have good moments, but inevitably there will be times where we just let down on both ends. We're shooting poorly from the field, and we don't get to the free-throw line. Mix all those things in, those games we lost by four or five points are because of inconsistency.
We had a chance, and again that's the story of our year. I can show you 12 or 13 games when we were in position at some point in the last two minutes and we were just not able to get it done.
We were 7-for-19 from the line. We did not do a good job of making free throws and although we had more field goals, we didn't box out well.
We want to win all the games we have left. To do that we have to become more consistent. I'm proud of how the kids have handled themselves and we are getting much better. It has not shown in wins and losses, but I'm hoping it will this year.
They didn't have a great regular season, but they still have a chance to make something out of it. It comes down to what team executes and who wants to extend your season. It's their time to go out and make something special of the end of your year.
That's been our M.O. this year. It's just how our year went. It seemed like we got in that position a ton this year and it seemed like we just could not hit that shot or get the stop we needed to get. It was another game of us getting close and not being able to get it done.
