game giving good tried win
We tried to keep the game in the 40s. In the 50s, we still had a chance, but we can't win giving up over 60 points. We made a good showing, but not good enough.
conference count crossover game good southern towards
The only good thing about this game is that it doesn't count towards the Southern Connecticut Conference playoffs. It isn't one of our crossover games, so we're still 3-1 in that category.
best defense game good played pressure tonight
We played some pretty good pressure defense tonight and I think that got them out of sync. It's the best game we've played in a while.
counted game good league loss played playoff tough win zone
Cheshire played very good zone defense. And we didn't play real well. It was a very big win for them and a tough loss for us because it was a cross-over game that counted in the league playoff standings.
everybody good played
Everybody played after some illnesses. They all weren't 100-nt, but they were good enough to play.
chance close game games gave good kids losing nice
After losing so many close games, it was nice to have a game in which we had a comfortable lead. It gave us a chance to play some of the other kids and that's always a good thing.
box contribute eight grab kids pleased seven
What pleased me most is that we had a whole lot of kids contribute tonight. We had kids get seven eight points, grab rebounds, get assists -- things that don't always show up in the box score.
against athletic came chance game hard seconds team third
We were down by 13 in the third quarter. But we came back and with 30 seconds to go, we were down by just two. This was a game we had a chance to win, but it's very hard to come from 13 down against a very athletic team like Hamden.
huge love shots
That was a huge shot. Shots like that are why we love him.
close lost ok turn turned win
That was frustrating because we have lost so many close game. I thought that this was our turn to win a close one, but everything turned out OK in overtime, so we're happy.

best coming dad easily hand high kid player private school wants work
He?s easily the best Hand High School player ever, and that?s not just coming from me. This kid put the work in himself. Between his own self-motivation and his dad (Charlie) as his private tutor, they made this happen. I reaped the benefits. He just wants to compete.
fourth free missed plays shoot three throws
We made some plays down the stretch. While we didn't shoot free throws well (16-for-29) we made some big ones in the fourth quarter. And we rebounded three of our own missed free throws which was very important.
