‘Cats still looking for first home win
SPRINGFIELD — Bill Slagle couldn’t ask for a better effort from his Springfield High School basketball squad.
Although the ‘Cats didn’t play their best game, they still had a lead in the fourth quarter with 24 seconds remaining.
“We just have to play better defense for 24 seconds,” Slagle said. “That’s something we’ll show the guys. 24 seconds. We can do that.”
Springfield has led in the fourth quarter in all of its games at their new gymnasium, but hasn’t been able to bring home a victory.
“It’s tough,” Slagle said. “The crowd’s been great. The guys are doing everything possible. They took it to heart. We have to find a way to finish off games, finish off halves, finish off quarters.”
He was still pleased with the way they fought back through adversity. They had several chances to pull ahead in the final minute, but the shots just wouldn’t fall.
“The guys were doing what we wanted them to do,” Slagle said. “The guys battled. I’m pleased with our determination. We just have to take it to that next step.”
