Every game is huge. We're at the point now with three losses that we have to win every game to be assured of a spot in the regional.
bothered faced four half hard offensive played pressure proud run second straight turn zone
We just had too many turnovers and Alma had too many offensive boards. I don't think it was Alma's pressure that bothered us because we've faced a 1-3-1 zone before. We get a run in the second half and then turn it over four straight times. But we played hard and I was proud of their effort.

At the end I told them how proud I was of them. We've been working on the strategy of how to use the clock and work it to your advantage and they did that tonight.

We've got a very aggressive, trapping style of defense. And we get a lot of turnovers out of it. We've been able to get momentum with turnovers and score in transition.

They have done very well. They have been focused and trained hard. This has been a great group. I know that is usually said. But it was fun to work with such a great group of girls.
coach favorite girls great group hard high joy junior running sorry worked
This group of girls was a joy to coach and I'm sorry the season's over. They had a great attitude. Running isn't always a junior high kid's favorite thing to do but they worked hard and didn't complain.

Defensively I thought we did a great job the whole game.
