“I thought we came out and executed well,” said Lynchburg-Clay coach Whitney Lewis. “I thought it was a good game for us to get in and run through some two-three offensive sets and get some good looks at the basket. We didn’t shoot great, but we were patient with our offense and got some easy looks in the beginning, so I was pleased with our patience on offense.”
