Beckley loses a tough game tonight at South Charleston by three. South Charleston had a 10 or 11 point lead two or three times only to watch Beckley claw
back. Good effort by the Beckley players for not giving up and having a chance to tie at the end.
I think we proved we can play with them. We just have to learn from this one and get better. We can't get in a hole against them and expect to dig out of it. If you lose focus for just a little bit, South Charleston can take it from a tie game to a 10 point lead. I think South Charleston was more physical. If we meet up with them again, we are going to have to rebound and do a better job of taking care of the ball. They really hurt us with rebounding. Just not get outhustled on any possessions.
Keep working hard Beckley. Defense is going to be the key going down the stretch. Defense and wanting it more than the other team is what wins championships.
One more regular season game on Friday against Robert C. Byrd before the real season begins. I hope we scheduled refs this time!
