kick last needed ran step time
We just overplayed on that last play. We needed someone to step in or rotate so he had to kick it out because time would have ran out then.
came group knowing last minds miss next perspective pressure season seven state tournament year
From my perspective, the pressure is off. This season we came in knowing that next year we're going to be 1B and it's going to be a completely different format. We've been to state seven straight, so in the back of the kids' minds I think they didn't want to be the group to miss out on the last year the tournament is in Spokane.
good held hitting kids middle normally panicked protect quarter shooting shots team third took
Normally we're a good 3-point shooting team but we weren't hitting anything today, so they just plugged up the middle and took Chad's shots away. We panicked a little in the third quarter but the kids held together. Bruce's kids are so disciplined, and they really know how to protect their floor.
game good ours rolling start teams took
Joel (Koopmans) got a good look at a (3-pointer) and it was in and out (to start the third). I think if we get that, we get rolling right away. It was a game between two even teams and it was a game of momentum. We just took a little too long to get ours back.
energy
They just had a little more energy than we did today. I also didn't think we executed too well.
