guys looking scoring
That's the kind of scoring we've been looking for from these guys all year.
against business care chance looking ourselves
We need to take care of business against Wakefield to give ourselves a chance in the final. We can't be looking ahead.
home looking seed seen teams
We've seen all the teams once. We have some of the better teams at home this time. We're looking at that No. 2 seed in the regional.
game holding looking smart start teams
We're looking to play our game and go right at them. If we can get better play out of our back court, especially on defense, and play smart basketball, we could start holding teams in the 40s and 50s.
forward looking opportunity trip
We're looking forward to having the opportunity to play for another trip to the sectionals.
needed remember settle time
We just needed a time out to settle them down, and remember how we play the game.
against bunch chance city field good kids last learned level nervous ourselves prepare rookie sort teacher trip
We were like a rookie teacher with a bunch of nervous kids on a field trip last year. We were sort of overwhelmed by the experience. We've learned from that and know how to prepare better. We need to keep our level of play up where it's been and we'll give ourselves a chance against a very good Glenwood City team.
again ball came clock four half held left rushed seconds shot stood ticked top zone
We went into a 2-3 zone with 4:30 left in the half and they held the ball up top for four minutes. We didn't come out and they stood there and the clock just ticked away. They started working for a shot with 30 seconds left. We got the steal, but again rushed a shot and came up empty.
brought focused great group men program seniors shows
These seniors have really brought the program to a new level. We've got a great group of young men here who are focused and working as a team, and it shows in the results.
expect game stronger tournament
We expect an even stronger opponent. That's the way the tournament works. Every game is up another level.
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.
