adversity far games handled kids pleased wins worked year
We have a lot of kids back. What they accomplished this year with 14 wins was far, far better than I had ever dreamed. I thought they worked through some adversity. Most games we went into I thought we were the underdog, and I was very pleased with how they handled themselves.
against beat kids playing pulling
Most kids don't take (the rivalry) too far. They want to beat one another obviously, but often times they are probably pulling for each other if they aren't playing against each other.
care good half job played second took
We played a lot smarter. We started off with a lot of fouls. I don't think we did a very good job of rebounding. The second half I thought we took care of that.
free kept mistakes pleased throws
I really think we kept battling. We're still not real pretty and we're still making young mistakes but we're battling. I was real pleased with the free throws down the stretch.
caught composure fighting good knew matter maybe playing situation team trying veteran
That team has a lot of shooters, has good size. It's a veteran team. We knew they were going to make a run. It was just a matter of could we withstand it and keep playing and fighting through it. There for a while we started getting in that turnover situation again. We were maybe trying a little too hard. I thought we caught our composure out there and got some leadership.
early gone toward year
Early in the year we would have been fouling in that situation. Toward the end of the year we've gone away from that.
competitor leave
It should hurt. If you are a competitor and you give everything you have, it's going to hurt. It always does. If it doesn't, then you didn't do much, you didn't leave it on the floor.
ball effort hit outside rebounds shared team
It was a team effort on the rebounds and I thought we shared the ball much better. We got the ball inside, we hit some outside shots.
ball defense great held knew moody pressure shooting shots trouble
They had some trouble with our pressure defense and our half-court trapping technique. They are a great shooting team. We knew they could come back. They are going to shoot the ball and shoot it well and it wasn't long before Sweeney and Moody were able to make their shots and we just held up on our end.
good guard point
The years we've had good point guard it has made so many things a lot easier.
adversity kids life proud rise strikes tonight
Sometimes when adversity strikes in your life or in your sport, you have to rise to the occasion. I thought our kids did that tonight and I'm very proud of them for that.
chemistry good team
The one thing about this team right now is I think our chemistry is getting pretty decent. They want to play for each other. They get along. And that's good to see.
game good knew stepped stunned
He really had a good game. I was very stunned I guess. I knew he was a good athlete, but he really stepped up and had a good game for them.
beat chance fight game kids last lead loss ourselves played poor possession redeem tonight took tough
The last game we didn't have Meier and we played a poor first half. We had to fight back and took a two-point lead and got beat on a last-second possession and that was a tough loss for us. Tonight we had a chance to redeem ourselves and the kids did.
