Following the game on our post game show, I asked River Valley coach Luke Fatcher about
his team making it to the regional finals.
It is it's a lot of fun to be here.
It is it is a lot of fun to be here and when we've been fortunate enough to win too but
as my wife reminded me it's been 10 years since the last time we won a regional championship
and that that would be the next step that we're looking for is to elevate us there and and
I think you know some of the athletes are coming around to do that and I hope the work
in the off season takes place because this you know you don't you don't cut nets down
because you jump on to the basketball floor on November it is it is a 10 to 12 month
a year you better be getting shots up I understand there's three sport athletes but but the best
players are playing around they're at least getting ball on their hand and you know they're
very few kids that see playing time even in Division 3 are just stepping on the floor
coming on November and and hang it up on and out like tonight.
The Plattville team moves on to play Wisconsin Dells we had the final there and you've seen
them as well this year haven't you?
We have yes nice team nice team they've got some size they've got some shooters they've
got a lot of length they'll apply some pressure you know I this could be a very good game for them
you know I should be a competitive game both very talented athletic teams.
