Clarksville Head Coach Ross Timmermans on working against the Comet’s ability to control the boards.
“They are a tough team. They have some size. They’ve rebounded very well in their games that they’ve played,” says Timmermans. “They had 53 rebounds against Baxter as a team and they had 47 rebounds as a team against Grundy Center. They know how to rebound the basketball and that gives them a lot of extra possessions. We’ve got to find a way to slow them down on the glass. They’re a very good basketball team. We’ll have our work cut out for us.”
