awful basket fight forced good hard looks match quick second shots size tough transition
We didn't fight real hard for part of the second and things snowballed. They got some quick transition buckets, and we couldn't get shots to drop. Their size makes it awful tough to match up with them; we didn't have real good looks at the basket and we forced some shots.
exact games reason
Seeding isn't an exact science. If it was, they'd be no reason to play the games.
adversity group happy kids pulled special suffered throughout tough
I am so happy for this group of kids because of all of the adversity they have suffered throughout this year. They really pulled together, and it is just a special group. ... It's really tough to see them go.
hard improving sophomore
She's still making sophomore mistakes. But she's working hard and improving every game.
double early figures four majority paid promoting spent year
She's been in double figures every game. She had four (points) tonight. Two years ago with these seniors, we spent the majority of preseason and even early into the year promoting defense, and it's really paid off.
awful defense huge size throw tough
They can throw over any defense you throw at them, and they made it awful tough for us to throw over them offensively. Their size is a huge determining factor.
biggest couple games girls good league past played won
It'll be one of the biggest games these girls have ever played in. As good as we've been the past couple of years they've never won a league championship in any sport.
couple dangerous good jeff press west
West Jeff is another dangerous team, just like Northridge. They've got a couple of real good shooters. They're not big, but they'll probably press us (defensively) most of the game.
due few friendly line shot tonight
We shot from the free-throw line better tonight than we have in a while. We got a few friendly bounces, but that's all part of the game. We were due some.
along confident feels finally herself playing realize starting telling
(Paxton) is getting a little more confident in herself and feels more comfortable playing with our kids. We have been telling her all along that she has the possibility of being a scorer for us in the future. She is finally starting to realize that.
goal good main pressure stop
Our main goal was to stop her penetration and put good pressure on the shot.
good nice teams
It's nice to still be in the hunt. A lot of good teams are done already.
girls good improve practicing season telling
I keep telling the girls good free-throw shooters are made during the summer. Once you get into the season you keep practicing them but you're really not going to improve all that much.
