diving effort loose playing team total
It was a total team effort ? diving for loose balls, playing with our heads.
defense good played realized
It was up and down for us; we played some good, some bad, some mediocre. We played very good defense at times. When we realized that we had to play, we played good defense.
monday practices terrible worried
We had two terrible practices Monday and Tuesday, so I was really worried about tonight.
best game games outcome straight tough win
Obviously, it's going to be a very tough game for us. You don't win 17 straight games for nothing. We'll just do the best that we can and see what the outcome is.
fights-and-fighting incredible north stopped
You have to give North Edgecombe credit; they never stopped fighting. They have some incredible shooters.
game good minutes trying
We're trying to play (Mills) 10-12 minutes a game ... but he's doing a good job.
ball game hold huge instructed played role run time tyler winning
I told Tyler to hold the ball and just let the time run out. He did what he was instructed to do, and that played a huge role in winning the game for us.
depth good post
It's good to see Brandon back. Now we have more depth in our post positions.
struggle
It's a win. We're up, we play great, we're not up and it's a struggle all night. Emotionally, we weren't into it.
best score smart tyler
Tyler doesn't score many points, he doesn't look the fastest, but he's very smart defensively. I try to put him on everyone's best 3-point shooters.
champions defending definitely north
North Edgecombe will definitely be up for us. We're the defending champions and we have to play like that.
turned
He kind of turned it around for us.
defense easy good led played second shots took
We took a lot of good shots in the first half, but they just weren't going in. We played better defense in the second half, which led to easy baskets for us.
When he's on the floor, things happen. When he's not on the floor, we just don't have our go-to guy.
