 Stevenson falls 86-65 to Scranton here in the season opener, Glenn Clark with Coach Gary Stewart. Coach guys did a lot of good in the first half on both ends of the floor. It just seemed like that all kind of came apart there in half number two. Yeah, I thought in a lot of ways, Glenn, it was fool's gold. You know, we made some shots without ball movement, without man movement, and then we got kind of stuck in that chapter, you know, and started to take some really, really tough shots. And then that affected our defense. We didn't have the tenacity and the energy that we needed to defend Scranton. How much did it hurt to have Mark Terrell get off to such a good start and then immediately get into foul trouble? Well, it certainly hurts because he's a huge part of what we do, but we got a lot of good players and we can allow one situation to affect the whole journey. Had a lot of players make their Stevenson debuts. The one that will jump off the page, Monica, you're right. Had a really nice night from the field. Yeah, he's a guy that's going to get better and better as he gets acclimated to his teammates in the system. He's a talented guy. What do you do from here, Coach? How do you take, you know, whatever good there was? You got a lot of home games at the beginning of the season, so some opportunities to maybe build some momentum. How do you, to build off of this, is it obviously ended up being a tough one? Well, it's not lost on me, Glenn, that we've got a lot of young guys and a lot of guys that are just trying to get their feet underneath them. We've got guys that are coming back from ACLs. Walt had an ankle injury that we lost to him for the season. So we're trying to find our footing and it's going to take some time. Basketball is a game of cohesion and chemistry and you see it at times for us, but we've got to play better and we've got to play better for longer periods of time. But in mind, what was your message to you again? Well, I didn't think we did anything exceptionally well. You see it in practice, but the game is usually the last place to come and we had some adversity today and didn't respond very well. Decision making was poor. I thought our defensive effort was inconsistent. We just didn't do anything that we set out to do, but better days are ahead. You know, I'm confident that we'll come back to work and work diligently on the things that this film is going to show us and get prepared for Friday. And obviously as you bring that up, a very important weekend for Stevenson basketball next weekend. It is, it is, and we're excited about it. Obviously not the start that we wanted, but like I told the guys, you win the rest of them, you're a national champion. So you got to put it in perspective. There's a lot on this tape that we can grow from and learn from and we're going to dissect it and we're going to get after it and should be a good spirited week of practice. Certainly will be from the head coach. No doubt about that. Coach, no, it was a tough one, but I appreciate you taking the time. Thank you, Glenn. He's Gary Stewart.
