“It was a bit of a challenging week for us,” Hillcrest head coach Kari Heusinkveld said. “We need to improve quickly on some basics to be more competitive in games. We are a group that is capable of performing much better than we are right now, but we have to figure out a way to be more engaged. I’ve loved what I’ve seen in spurts from individuals and we really have had some nice team play, but we need more than just spurts, we need 32 minutes of that.”
The Ravens (1-4, 0-2)) travel to Mediapolis (3-0) on Tuesday, December 10th. Tipoff is set for 6 PM.
