We got passive in the last 15 minutes, and (Lake Norman) picked up the pace and finally broke down our defense.

Beating Lake Norman was huge last year. Their aura of invincibility vanished.

Chris picked up a knee injury five minutes from the end. He had a scan which didn't reveal any bad damage, but the knee is very swollen and I expect him to miss the next two games.

We had stages where we picked up the pace of our play. But we've got too many things going against us, and our margin of error is too thin to have to play the game that way. We need to be on point with everything we do, on every single possession, especially in this league.

We are trying to keep the park as a passive-use facility. We picked those activities because we want as low an impact as possible.

This was a battle worthy of a state semifinal kind of game. It felt like November (the playoffs) tonight.
