“We had a very cold second half on shots that we could have made,” said Jersey head coach Stote Reeder. ‘We go to Marquette, then Carrollton and hope to turn it around.”
“Obviously with Nathan, Will and Garret out, it hurt us. We were down by 13 when we went into the locker room and the kids are tough kids and we got it to six then they got on a 15-0 run.
