Straughn coach Scott Kinsaul said his team did not play well in all aspects of the game Friday night.

“The things we’­­ve been doing, for some reason we couldn’t do it (Friday night),” Kinsaul said. “We couldn’t rebound, score, press and defense. It was one of those bad nights.”

The Lady Tigers fall to 13-3, 1-1.

Straughn will travel to play Luverne next Tuesday night.
