The Coach Says: "Dickinson is a quality team and made things difficult for us, but I think we lost tonight, and didn't necessarily get beat," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Micah Herron said. "I would like us to walk into gyms, even our own gym, with a little more confidence. We have played well of late, and earned the right to be confident. I think there is a fine line of respecting an opponent and being scared of an opponent, and I think we are on the wrong side of that line sometimes. I expect our energy to be back on Saturday, and look forward to a good practice tomorrow."
