knew middle miss needed stay
We knew we were the underdog. We knew we needed to stay with them early. They didn't miss early, they didn't miss in the middle and they didn't miss late.
bats behind close decent game nice played swing
We did swing the bats pretty decent in game one. We played from behind but were able to make a nice comeback. The game was close for most of it.
baseball beat good runs win
We beat a good baseball team. It was a win we needed. We got the runs when we had to get them.
few five hits second together tough
We had a tough second inning. They got a few hits and bunched them together for five runs.
basket came drives focus happen last number played players possible post shut tough year
(Amanda Reimer) really did a number on us last year when they came up and played us and we weren't about to let that happen again. Our focus was to shut down their drives to the basket and make it as tough as possible for their post players to move.
bad corner difference forced four good hit hurt last missed open percent played shoot shot shots stepped three top wayne whenever wide win
They played pretty good defense. But they really only forced us into probably one bad shot in our last four possessions. We just had some open shots that wouldn't fall. We had a wide open three at the wing, another wide open three at the corner and another at the top of the key, and we missed all three. That was one of the big things that hurt us, was our perimeter shooting. Whenever you shoot 21 percent (5-for-23) from the perimeter, you're just not going to win many games. Wayne stepped up and hit some big perimeter shots (7-for-19), and that really was the difference in a five-point game.
basket came couple good half looks played second shots
They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.
aggressive free halftime interior line needed players talked throw
At halftime we talked about being aggressive. We needed to get more aggressive and get to the free throw line. With our interior players we should get to the free throw line more than we did in the first half.
ali couple few inside level line nice shots stepped tough
Ali stepped up and had a nice game. She made a couple of tough shots inside and was able to get to the free-throw line a few times. Miranda also stepped up her level of play.
baseball both game gave good job keeping nice pitching played run
They each gave up one run and did a really nice job of pitching and keeping us in the game. We didn't get enough hits. It was a very good baseball game and very well pitched and played on both sides.
adam continued fuels good hits hitters last passion power top trend
Adam was one of our top hitters last year, and he has continued that trend this year. He not only hits for a good average, but for power as well. He has a real passion for the game, and that fuels his fire.
ball conference couple defense hard hold kids played shooting team trouble
A couple of our perimeter kids are having trouble shooting the ball right now. They'll have to shoot better when we play the conference teams. I thought our defense played pretty well the whole game. It's hard to hold a team to 50 points.
hits innings nine three win
I was disappointed in our hitting. When you only have three hits in nine innings you are not going to win too many games.
bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
