Steve had a nice last game for his career; he competed hard in the low post. We needed a couple of other guys to step up. We just didn't have enough weapons tonight.
Pretty much the defensive pressure of Athens got to us. We had a real difficult time getting into our offensive set. Give credit to Athens, they really did a good job defensively as a team.
We had a tough time stopping them tonight. Martindale had 20 of their 29 points in the first half and they all came on put-backs. He didn't have a shot outside of 2 feet.
Newark Valley is big inside, and they got a lot of good looks and offensive rebounds. We really struggled from the perimeter.
They are a five seed and we are a 12 and we had to play on their home floor and that's always tough in sectionals. They are a very athletic team, a very veteran team that starts five seniors. They are very unselfish and they rebound extremely well.
