With the loss, Coach Tony Pietrowski’s team finished 14-8 on the season.
From the beginning of the season when the team lost two of its first three games, including 83-64 against South Laurel, Pietrowski had preached patience for the young team.
Coming off of a three-game losing streak, the Redhounds went on the road to Knox Central and came away with a 77-72 win that would prove to be the start of a 10-game winning streak.
“Our guys did an excellent job staying committed to the process,” Pietrowski said. “We were behind from the beginning due to an early season quarantine and then another mid-season quarantine of our JV program. Once we were able to string together a stretch of practices and games, we saw the results on the floor. Starting 3-6 was a punch in the face. We regrouped and had a strong close to our season.”
