HARRISBURG IL- (Jack Bullock “ABV Jack” – abaselineview.com please click on the link to read the full story) Here is a note- I am going to have something put together today about the very good week the Tigers had last week. I would like to encourage any basketball fan to visit A Baseline View frequently. Here are a couple quotes from Thompsonville Coach Pete Gordon about last night’s

game….&“We took a page out of last year’s play book, we played them close a couple of times last year so we played them a 2-3 again. In order for us to compete with a team like that we have to keep the game in the 40’s or 50’s and the zone helped us with that tonight,” said Coach Gordon. “I’m real proud of the kids’ effort tonight. But I thought our youth showed up at times, unfortunately. We had some open looks tonight but we also had times when we didn’t get back on defense and you can’t do that against them. They exploited that.” & “For us it has been tough to put 32-minutes together this year because of our youth our margin of error is small. We have been turnover plagued all year,” said Coach Gordon. “But we have to take the bitter with the sweet. It will get better.”
