athletic game hall inside running slow stop team towers west
Towers is a very athletic team and we're going to have to slow down their inside game and keep them from running out on the break. They play a lot like West Hall and Paige Hanson so we know what to do, we just have to stop it.

This loss is difficult. But our team will bounce back, they have hearts the size of this gym.

I believe it did help, along with playing West Hall and all the other teams. That really makes a difference, playing in a strong league like we have. Three teams in the sweet 16 really says a lot about Region 7-AAA.

It's been a little tough trying to get everyone to stay calm and focused. But I'd rather have that problem than deciding which game I wanted to go watch.
