\u201cVery proud of my kids today showing great heart coming off a hard fought loss yesterday,\u201d Knox Central coach Mitchell Madden said. \u201cWe played in my opinion the best team we have faced all year in Hartselle, Alabama and we held our ground. We were down 10 in first quarter, down one at the half but had the best attitude of the year of, no quit, and it paid off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were down 46-41 starting last quarter,\u201d he added. \u201cWe came trapping, being very aggressive battled back to take the lead with 1:57 to go and made our free throws to finish the game. We are young but we play so hard and gritty. I love my team\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
