 Stevenson falls 85-83 to Alvernia here today at Owings Mills Gymnasium. Glenn Clark with Coach Gary Stewart. Coach one of the wilder games that I've ever called. You guys fell behind by 17 points before it seemed like you were ever even part of the game and then that balloons up to 27 in the second half yet you rally. How do you measure your frustration with how things started and where they went versus the pride that you have in the fight that your team showed to get back into this one? Well I thought we were really really poor defensively for 40 minutes and in relationship to what we were trying to do defensively we just never got into our game plan from a defensive standpoint and they capitalized on us on it but conversely our guys did show some fight and worked ourselves back into the game. I ran out of time at the end but we were more sort of offensively 59 points second half but stood around and did nothing for the first 15 minutes of the game and and you can't do that in this league. One of the things that jumped out at me you went to your bench you went to guys like Cam Harris and particularly Jonathan Mostama who responds by going 5-5 from the field and you stuck with them as the game went along. What did you see did you know that Jonathan Mostama had something like this in him in the second half? Well we've got good players down there and we're confident in those guys. John's a highly acclaimed player out of high school and he's gonna really really be a good player and help us. He's got some special skills and he's playing behind pretty good guy. So the minutes aren't indicative of his talent but we have confidence in our guys. You know we've got a lot of guys that can make some plays. It's not the offensive end that's hurt us it's the it's the defensive end. We've got to get that corrected. Is it a question of just guys buying in defensively or is it the matchups like what is it that needs to work in order to make it click more defensively? It depends on the possession you know sometimes we've guys they're trying to do too much. Sometimes we get stuck not being very disciplined and we helped off a couple shooters from the corner. The game plan was not to help off of anybody from the corner. Well we paid for that they buried some three so in a game what comes down to one possession you do those type of things and you'll get beat and we did. What do you need from this group as they go back out on the road on Wednesday night? Well we just got to play better. I mean we've given away two games. We lost a widener here in one possession game. We've lost alvernia here in one possession game. We're up in the second half at Arcadia so we've got to we've got to show some some toughness for 40 minutes and and and have better defensive possessions. Coach best of luck on the road on Wednesday night thanks for taking the time for us today. Thank you Glenn. Yes coach Gary Stewart I'm Glenn Clark for gomostanksports.com
