Pass Christian head coach Greta Ainsworth commented, “We struggled to keep the ball in our hands and struggled to put the ball in the basket. It was difficult all game for us. We have been in the hole all year without a point guard but that says alot about this team’s character. We have lost several players during the year but these girls kept battling together.”
