W just played teams that exploited our errors. Out of ten games played they won four and lost six. Their best score was Novi 62, South Lyon 43 . A lot of people attended the games and here are a few of their comments: That's my kid out there. Shoot it through th hoop, Price! Don't let them have that ball! Rebound!
