evening experience girls last mean played playing playoffs plays positive whoever worry
We have some girls who played last year, and I think experience in the playoffs can be a positive factor. I think at this time, you just worry about who's playing that evening and who's playing well and, just because we've been there before doesn't mean anything for that evening because, whoever plays better is going to go on.
ball compared good impressed key last move patience wait willing year
I think our patience has been the big key for us this year. Compared to last year and some other years, our patience has really, really impressed me this season. We're willing to move the ball around and wait for that good shot.
ask ball bit club difference last offense patient people step
People always ask me what the difference is between last year's club and this year's and this year's we have other people that can step up. We are a little more patient on offense and we can get other people the ball a little bit better.
battle close game great last learned solid tried year
Last year it was a great battle and it was a close game between two solid teams. Hopefully, what we learned from that game last year, we tried to incorporate all season.
couple focused good last sign team time veteran
This was a good sign of an experienced, veteran team and a focused team. They jumped out on us, they were doing some things. But, every time they would answer, we would answer, and I think we just had the last couple spurts.
five fortunate four game heck last lightly starters team win
You can't take any team lightly in the playoffs. That was a heck of a game last year, and we were just fortunate to come out with a win -- and they have four of their five starters back.
across against best enjoy fantastic focus maybe memory next states teams tournament weekend
The states is a different tournament, and we have to enjoy this (through the weekend and) maybe Monday, but we'll get back to our focus on the next step. This is great, and this is fantastic for these girls, and it's a memory they'll have their whole lives, and then you look at the states, and you look at that as a whole other tournament where you're going against the best teams from across the state of Pennsylvania.
five four imagine starters
I would imagine that, with four out of the five starters back, nothing much will change. They're aggressive, they're well-coached and it's going to be a challenge.
focus girls negative whether work
Whether you're seeded No. 1 or 2 or 3, you have to go in with the same focus. I won't use negative things to focus the girls because that doesn't work for us and this is a different team.
girls ideas instead maybe played stop trying
Maybe that was my fault, in making the girls think too much about what we were going to do. Instead of trying to play the way we played all year, maybe I put too many ideas in their minds, and we weren't able to stop them.
confident felt hit second stepped
She stepped up big. In the second quarter, she got into a flow. She felt confident and hit some big shots.
composure credit cut girls kept pushed
I give a lot of credit to these girls because nothing really fazed them the whole game. We pushed the lead, they cut back into it, but they just kept their composure the whole time.
thinking
We weren't thinking about it too much. We just have to go out and play. You have to play well to advance.
We always try to do that. That is one of our philosophies. We try to get everyone into the game.
