best break defensive face good knock mark offensive people score strength taking team
This is probably the best offensive rebounding team we'll face all year. The mark of a good team is taking the other team's strength away from them. When we defensive rebound, we score a lot of points. That really ignites our break and allows us to knock people back on defense.

That's what we start with from day one. The kids play with a high energy level, and that allows us to do a lot of different things on defense. Our defense is our staple.

That opens it up. Lisa's been coming on. She's been battling a leg problem all year and she was worrying that the doctor might shut her down for the year. She got the OK last Monday that it's not a stress fracture, and all of a sudden she's shooting the heck out of the ball.
If we go to Bridgeport, we're doing pretty good. That's the regional.

We won't play scared. We'll play hard, we'll play together and we'll compete.

We battled inside but size-wise, we just couldn't get it done. We did a good job on the first-shot percentage, but the second and third shots were where we got beat.
