“I thought we shook off the rust pretty well,” stated Dexter coach Kurt Lovelady. “Hopefully we can shake off some more rust before Wednesday. We’ve got to place shots well going forward as we see better and better competition from here on out.”
“Notre Dame has a little bit different line-up,” continued Lovelady. “They have made a few changes. We have beaten them twice and there is something about beating a team a third time in a season that can always be challenging. We need to play well and place our shots better than we did today.”
