Cats lose district opener @ Prosper

For those of you that don't know, Prosper has one of the most luxurious high schools in the state and possibly country. They have a 2100 seat gymnasium with a four sided scoreboard with video monitors. We have nicknamed this place "The University of Prosper". I was a bit worried about our boys playing their first district game in this facility. Afterwards, I was proud of our results even though we lost the game. Prosper beat us 70-58 and we pretty much played them even for three quarters. We just let them outscore us 14-7 in the first quarter and turnovers played a huge part of that. Matt Miller continued to elevate his game by pouring in 24 points and 17 rebounds. He also had numerous blocks and altered Prosper's shots all night long. I was very proud of my Senior's performance tonight. Matt Hobbs chipped in 11 points including three 3 pointers. All of our boys played hard and left everything on the floor. We had several key players in foul trouble all night and it allowed our bench to see more minutes. I was pleased with their efforts as well. I believe this game will prepare for the tough road ahead in district and will allow us to adjust and prepare to beat them in a couple of week at home. We travel to Celina on Tuesday.
