decent four players service
We had four pretty decent players at our service every day.
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.
basketball clutch confident high leaves player time tremendous
Monique is a clutch player. She is very confident and capable, and she will be a tremendous basketball player by the time she leaves high school.
anyone court defensive felt freedom gave high people players post quick spent strong time
We spent so much time on the defensive end of the court in practice. All 10 of my players were quick or really strong post defenders. I didn't have anyone that I felt would get scored upon by most people in high school. That gave me the freedom to sub more.
blessed good honestly internet looked players until
I honestly didn't know anything about it, until one of my players looked it up on the Internet and told me. I have been blessed with good players, so all of the recognition should go to them.
against college competition created east former high players school stronger west
I know they always say the competition in the west is stronger than back east but we kind of created our own competition with former college players against my high school kids.
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.
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.
