corrected great half knew played second slow start
We kind of had a slow start but I thought we played a great second half and corrected some things. I knew they were going to play us tough, they always do. They're very physical.
beginning chemistry coming created forth girls good gym job knew open shot time
It started this summer. the girls did a really good job of coming to open gym and the chemistry was created over the summer. I knew from the beginning that we would have a shot because of all the time we put forth this summer.
contact game knew last shot watching
We were in contact with someone watching the game at Reynolds and we knew pretty much when the last shot was made and they won.
correct great half knew played second though
I though we played great in the second half to correct some things, I knew they were going to play us tough.
defense mix tried
We tried to mix up our defense and got out and tried to play a little more zone. We're just not a zone-principled team.
eastern easy force girls led pressure wayne
Eastern Wayne has a lot of young girls on their team. So when we put pressure on their guards, we were able to force turnovers that led to easy baskets.
decent four players service
We had four pretty decent players at our service every day.
against cost factors foul girls last loss main regional
We have to keep our big girls (Harris and Best) from getting into foul trouble. That was one of the main factors that cost us in our loss against Dudley in the regional semifinals last year.
chance effort everybody great happy job passing touch
I was really happy about our effort tonight. I thought we did a great job of passing the ball. Everybody got a chance to touch it.
excited execute foul picks trouble trying
We were getting in so much foul trouble trying to execute our traps. I am so excited about our half-court game. We executed beautifully with our back picks and lob passes.
against basketball bring front grew guess half people playing wearing worst
I don't know who those people were in the first half wearing our uniforms. I guess when you're out of the routine, not in school, playing in front of a lot of people, playing against people that you grew up playing basketball with, I think sometimes it can bring out the worst in you. That's pretty much what happened.
anticipate frame guess honestly playing preparing quarter signature spent time took
I didn't anticipate them playing us man, I really didn't. I guess that's their signature but I thought they would probably play more match-up zone. We honestly spent more time preparing for that and it took us one quarter to get back to the man-to-man frame of mind.
either farther honestly past somebody western
I was surprised. I honestly thought we would play either Western Harnett or Dudley. In my past experiences, we have always been paired with somebody farther west.
complete fortunate offense player post run
She's probably the most complete player on the team. She can run our offense from the perimeter, or I can post her up in the paint. We're very fortunate to have her.
