“This team plays its best when it talks on defense, works hard on defense, really steps up, is aggressive and then offensively we move the ball. When we take our time, we’re patient on offense, we get the defense going side to side, not only do we tend to find the right guy for the shots, we tend to be much more confident. We’re set to shoot and we’re making the right pass to the right shot,” says Maske. “If we can work on those things for our last three games and be even more consistent with it. We’ll be poised to make a nice run in the postseason.”
The Osage boys won a 67-52 at home over Nashua-Plainfield on Monday. Quinn Street paces the Green Devils with 23.5 points per game.
