“It was a case of us seeing what they (AGWSR) were doing and then us executing what we could do against them. We didn’t do that early, but that is the nice thing with this group that they can adjust well. I can’t say enough about our bigs, they did a nice job of working inside,” said Grundy Center head coach Matt Lindeman.
