add battle bit good hopefully rings time won
It was a little bit of payback but at the same time they've got the rings and we don't. This was just a little battle that we won and hopefully we can add upon it ... but you can't really say that this is as good as a ring.
tone
You have to set the tone early. We're just going to play hard.
everybody feels locker room sure team
You feel like we're a team that should've won. I'm sure everybody in the locker room feels the same way.
ball coach hold people tried wait yeah
Yeah it was different, but it was the formation the coach wanted us to be put in. He told me just to hold the ball up and try to wait for people to come up and play it to them. So that is what I tried to do.
certainly good inches though
I wouldn't say that we didn't look dangerous. We were inches away a lot of times from getting good connections. I certainly didn't feel as though we were ineffective, Nicol said.
found screaming
She called me screaming and crying. That's how I found out.
game
It's a big game for a lot of players, especially me. But the most important thing is winning.
bit nice rings time
It's a little bit of payback. But they've got the rings and we don't. At the same time it was nice to get the win.
play can-do know-how
All you can do is play how you know how to play.
fighting
You've got to go out there and fight.
sports play skills
Little did I know that the sport I loved and the skills I learned would later play a role in my relationship with God.
games gains bars
The more games you get, the more confidence you gain. I started to set the bar high for myself.
giving faithful desire
God's Word brought me peace and a desire for a relationship with Him. I found that questioning Him and searching for answers through Scripture helped me grow and gave me direction. Now my faith in Christ is what gives me confidence for the future. I know that through both good times and bad, He is faithful and will watch over me.
coming continuing game good mentality ourselves position season second
We're just continuing to do what we've done all season just take it one game at a time. Obviously, it's an important game coming up. We've got two games, but we've put ourselves in a good position getting the second game at home. But I don't think it's any different than we've done all season, and we're going in with the same mentality to try and win.
