"When you're a young team like we are, you look for a lot of things that you can improve on," Cary-Grove coach Tony Moretti said. "We've been good for small stretches of time all year. Then, there's some stretches where things get away from you. Honestly, (Libertyville) was one of the best teams we've seen all year. That's a fantastic basketball team. We had a couple things go wrong and we struggled against their press. And they pressured us. It kind of got away from us. But, we did play really hard and there's nothing but positive things at the end of the day."
