Coaches Comments-Orange Park Game

First Coast seems to be peeking at the right time, with only two games left in the regular season. Tonight they face an Orange Park team that has nothing to lose and everything to gain if they can pull-off an upset on the Bucs home court. As expected the Raiders came out with a lot of intensity which eventually faded away as the game went on. The Bucs went to work early for a change, by taking advantage of the mismatch on the low box with Tavaris Barnes and Cornelius Johnson. Once our big men got going the doors opened up for our perimeter players. In the second half we were able to rest the starters significantly allowing our second and third group an opportunity to close out the game. These players have been playing well for us all year and they do whatever we ask of them. Defensively they allow us to do a lot of different things that would otherwise be impossible without such depth. Keep up the good work guys and congratulations on wrapping up first place in the District.
