Andalusia 7, Greenville 3

Andalusia girls coach Marcus Taylor said it was good to get a win, and over the hump Saturday.

“Anytime you win a game, I don’t care who it’s against or what sport it’s in — getting a win is good for morale,” Taylor said. “We have not played well, except for one game really.

“We brought our best when we played Ashford,” he said. “When we bring our best, we can play anybody. We’ve got to get more consistent at bringing our best effort all of the time.”
