came fourth happened matter mean playing quarter records wants win
When you play your rival, you have to know that they're going to come with everything they've got. Records mean nothing. It doesn't matter who's playing well, who's not playing well. It's who comes out and wants to win it. Northridge came out and wanted to win it. We just happened to want it more in the fourth quarter and we did things right in the fourth quarter.
sanctity
We would like to keep the sanctity of our neighborhood as it is -- rural.
basketball best far four full game playing runs time
It was our best game, four quarters. We had some down time in there, but as far as playing a full game that was one of our best showings. They did their runs and we would have our runs. That's what basketball is about. It's about runs. We had more of them and scored more out of our runs.
both came chance closer game heath last run seemed teams
It was the kind of game I expected. It came down to runs. Both teams had their runs. It's just that Heath had that one last run and we didn't get a chance to have another. Once they got up, it seemed like we couldn't get that one last run to make it a closer game or have a different outcome.
ball beating deserved four halftime rebound win
They were beating us to the ball on the floor. We had one rebound in the first quarter, four by halftime and 12 turnovers (by halftime). You can't win ballgames like that. They deserved to win.
came half offensive second third
They weren't on in the first half and they were in the second half. I think a lot of it came down to rebounding. We let them get too many offensive rebounds. They weren't making a lot of their first shots. It was their second and third shots.
experience good music sound works
It's a good place to experience music and see how sound works in the world.
change easier game job played quarter second shooting start struggled
We usually start off slowly. We usually play better in the second half, but we just played well in the second quarter and they really struggled shooting the ball. Obviously, that made things easier for us. We didn't change anything. We went with our game plan. We just did a better job executing.
against attack practiced
We practiced against the 3-2 but we were passive. We didn't attack it.
fight hard second until
We didn't show up to play until the second half, and when you're down by 19 it's hard to fight back.
ball beat left matched morgan played players post
They played a triangle-and-two on us. They matched up Corrie and Rachel and left our posts open. Corrie, Rachel and Morgan were able to get the ball to our post players and we beat them inside.
care falling force fourth good issue job lead looks open quarter shots step taking third
They didn't do anything different. We had shots falling in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter we had open looks but they just didn't fall. Once they got the lead late, they didn't force the issue as much. We would step out but they did a good job taking care of the ball.
best far hard jump match quick team
This is by far the best team we've seen. Their posts are quick so it's hard for posts to match up with them when you try to jump up into a zone. When you try to match up man-to-man, you have those back-door cuts.
defense half knew needed second
They were down and they knew they had to play better defense. We didn't play defense in the first half, and we knew we needed to in the second half to make it a ballgame. If we would have done that in the first half, we would have been fine.
