CPS Coach Leon Westover said, “As well as I thought we competed at Peck last week, we did not compete at all tonight. Deckerville got to the rim any time they

desired and completely dominated us on the boards. Deckerville had one possession in the 2nd half where they had 5 offensive rebounds and scored on the 5th one. We were outplayed in every facet of the game and when their full court pressure pushed the lead to 30 early in the fourth, they were able to coast to the 33 point win. We are now 0-4 in the league and 2-4 overall. Our next game is at Caseville on Thursday. Our players desperately need a win on Thursday to regain some confidence. Our priority is defense at this point and we need to find 5 players who are active defensively and who will box out and compete on the boards. We are not competitive at the defensive end at this time.”
