The Perry boys basketball team will host Carroll tonight at the Perry gym in a 7:45 tip. Perry is 2-1 this year following a hard fought loss to Dallas Center Grimes Friday night. Perry Head Coach Ned Menke felt the start was the difference Friday night.

“The speed of DCG’s offense I thought really caught us off guard. We can not duplicate that type of speed in practice. I thought once the kids adjusted and realized they can compete with them..things turned around a little bit. We had 6 turnovers in the first quarter and only 6 the next three. Most coaches can live with 12 turnovers.”
Carroll has been extremely tough on Perry through the years, having won 12 of the last 13.

“They’re a similar team to when Craig Dowma was their head coach..they will extend the court like us…run a little 1-1-2 and 2-2-1 zone traps along with a tight man to man defense. It will be a challenge but our guys will be ready.”
