came emotional five four game good last late practices since week win
We chipped away a little late in the game. We had four or five good practices since our last game a week ago (an emotional win over Bernalillo), but we came out lethargic and flat.
confidence games home hopefully loss momentum road rough talked three weeks winning
We talked a lot about how threes haven't been winning us ballgames. We've had a rough two weeks with three road games and a home loss to Grants, but hopefully we can take some momentum and confidence back to our home court.
hit proud team
I'm so proud of the guys; this was a real team effort. A lot of those 'bunnies' and 'cupcakes' we've been missing, we hit those tonight.
call seemed
It seemed like it was make-up call after make-up call. Man, just call the game.
offense slow steady
We wanted to slow them down, to get them out of their offense a little bit. We're not going to play 'lights out' for 32 minutes, but this was just a good, steady 3A win.
confidence huge minutes played win
This win could be a huge confidence builder. I really feel like we played 32 minutes tonight.
seem zone
I don't know what that was. Zone or man, it didn't seem to matter.
definitely fans fire high hopefully passion road support top
I feel we're definitely one of the top 16; hopefully we'll go at least as high as 14. If we get another game, I hope our fans can go on the road and support us, and we'll need to play with fire and passion for 32 minutes.
felt scoring threat
I felt Antonio was the scoring threat we needed.
ball freeze gaps guys hard hate instead looking passing quarters three word
It's frustrating to play hard and play well for three quarters and then freeze up in the fourth. I hate to use the word 'choke,' but we really need some guys who can penetrate and find gaps instead of just passing the ball around the perimeter looking for a 3-pointer.
encourage experience games kids
They have a lot of experience in games like this. They play year-round basketball, and while we encourage kids to play other sports, you have to keep your shot.
beat man six straight tried zone
They've beat us six straight times with him. We tried different combinations of man and zone (defenses), but nothing worked.
defense face guard guys hard holding ourselves pressure work
We'll be doing a lot of press-breaking work this week. We'll be scrimmaging ourselves and holding each other accountable, and we may work on some defense because those guys will be hard to guard man-to-man. We'll have pressure in our face for 32 minutes.
best district felt home playing quarters run team three win
We felt like the (University of New Mexico) Lobos, we just can't win on the road. Were playing a little better at home right now. To run with the best team in the district for three quarters and then you look up and you're down by 18 points? Wow.
