But eventually we will get there,” he said. “I am with this team now and we are going to work hard to implement what we want to implement and to become a better team. It’s a work in progress because I just started to work with the team,” Gilbert said.
Wendell Nanton, a player with Lodge, said the team started out flat in the first half, but picked up momentum in the second half. “We came out flat footed this evening.
