guys looking scoring
That's the kind of scoring we've been looking for from these guys all year.
ahead conference fallen frustrated happened happy sure
Thankfully, we were ahead the whole game, I'm not sure what would have happened had we fallen behind. Give them credit. They frustrated us offensively. We're just happy to get another big conference win.
ball forgot guys left played playing shot
I thought we played terrible. The way we've been playing so well, we shot the ball terribly. And then we forgot to play defense. We left our guys too much, we got lazy, we gambled, we weren't disciplined enough on defense.
admire anyone five floor good group lead players quality score slight
I give Ironwood a slight edge. I admire these kids. They're always working on their game. They've got a good group and can put five quality players on the floor and anyone of them can score when they need a score, or lead them in scoring.
foot four half intensity keeping last night second sustained third took
We sustained our intensity for four quarters. We started the same way we did in Glidden, but there we took our foot off the throttle in the second half and just coasted. Last night we concentrated on keeping our intensity up. We had an exceptional third quarter.
brought energy great job
We brought them up to give us energy on the floor. I thought they did a great job in their first varsity game.
defense help interior last matter needs personnel
We're still making adjustments in personnel to get to where we want to be. But we need to play better defense, no matter who we've got out there. Our interior defense needs to improve. Our help defense needs to get after it, if we're going to get back to where we were last year.
forward looking opportunity trip
We're looking forward to having the opportunity to play for another trip to the sectionals.
expect game stronger tournament
We expect an even stronger opponent. That's the way the tournament works. Every game is up another level.
basketball best defense half individual second
We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.
good guys offense played team three
We played very good team defense, especially in the first half, but on offense it was just the big three for us. We didn't get enough guys involved. They have to look to score.
early leadership learned low meeting points senior stepped team together took
We had a little team meeting and our senior leadership stepped up and we got together as a team. We've learned from our low points and took our lumps early in the season.
defense forced game shooting
Mercer's defense had something to do with that. We had been shooting well. They forced us to a perimeter game and clogged up the lane.
came defense hard offense played
Mercer played very well. Give Mercer credit. They came in here and played some hard defense and had just enough offense to win.
