We unfortunately lost momentum and just struggled to get it back. A poor shooting night from the foul line hurt us late in the game (10/21). We’ve got to be able to hit those foul shots and focus to stay in tight games against good teams. We didn’t do that tonight.” The Lady Indians will compete in the Hancock Christmas Tournament next Friday and Saturday opening on Friday evening with North Hagerstown High School.
