Coach Keizer had this to say about the game, “We played tired, undisciplined basketball tonight. We were careless with the ball, having 19 turnovers and looked out of sorts all night.
Give credit to LeMars for getting after us early and executing a great game plan. Their kids played really hard and passionate tonight.
After having 5 games in 7 days, we need to use this weekend to regroup and get some rest. Thankfully, we get to practice on Monday to clean up some things we need to get better at.”
Up next for the Wolfpack is a home contest against Spirit Lake on Tuesday. LeMars will be on the road to Spencer on Tuesday.
