The area where we got hurt today was 3-point shooting! York
made 9, and we only attempted 7! What is amazing is their threes
came from 5 different players." Coach Cook is already looking
towards the start of next season, which is just 8 months
away. "We need to commit to being better shooters. Next
season begins tomorrow. I hope our players will commit to
shooting. Three teams from our conference will be in the NCAA

in many areas from last season and will improve even more next
year!
