Coach Scheef: “Give Raymond Central a lot of credit. They played very hard, and made plays down the stretch when they needed to. Their two Sophomores, States and Christensen played very well for them, and Buresh made a great play at the end to give them the win. It was a game where just about everything went wrong for us in the final 4 minutes of the game. We were 1-8 from the line in the fourth quarter. We either missed layups or got layups blocked. Central was just a step quicker on everything tonight than we were.”
