Here is an exclusive post game interview with Leesburg High School Girls Basketball Head Coach Mark Oates
Carver Heights Quarterback Club Presents:
Gerald Lacey:
Good Evening Coach Oates.
Mark Oates:
"Hi Gerald"
Gerald Lacey:
Congratulations on your big Class 6A District 5, 51-36 win over Ocala Vanguard High School Tonight. You had some other players play a few more minutes than normal tonight which certainly help in March. Did Ashley Perry dress for the game Thursday I noticed she wasn't in the box score. If so is she injured or for unspecified reasons?

If so is she injured or for unspecified reasons?
Mark Oates:
"Yes Ashley dressed for the game but did not play. She is fine physically but I felt it best if she didnt play against Vanguard."

Gerald Lacey:
What were the keys to this crucial Class 6A District victory?
Mark Oates:
Mark Oates:
"The team entered the game more foucsed than on Tuesday night."
Gerald Lacey:
Baylie Bridges shot 73% from the field do you think by signing with the University of West Florida early has allowed her to play at such a high level now that she doesn't have to worry about recruiting?
Mark Oates:
"Baylie has been playing at a high level for four years but yes the fact that she knows where she will be next year has to be a comforting feeling. Baylie, her parents and myself wanted to get her signed early so that she could play loose and enjoy her senior season."

Gerald Lacey:
Over the last couple of games Joharra Russell's has been scoring more is she becoming a legitimate scoring threat that opponents have to account for?
Mark Oates:
"I have asked Joharra to more aggressive offensively this season and she has responded. If we can get the 3 Amigas (Bridges, Perry and Russell) to play at the level consistently we will be hard to beat."
Gerald Lacey:
Thank Coach Oates good luck tommorow night against Port Orange Atlantic.
Mark Oates:
"Thank You Gerald"
