found good holes looks screens setting settled
We got good looks (against the box-and-one) and once we settled down and started setting better screens and making good cuts, we found the holes in the box.
depth eight encouraged good happy players seven
I'm encouraged by our depth and happy with our distribution of scoring. Seven players scored eight or more and 12 of the 14 players scored, so that's pretty good balance.
atmosphere caught changes chaos chaotic floor good hard job kids lead playing slippery
It never ever changes (at Grant) ? it's a chaotic atmosphere up here. You never feel like a lead is safe, the floor is slippery and it's hard not to get caught up in the chaos. I thought the kids did a good job playing through it.
ball good high incredible passing school
Twenty-three assists is incredible for a high school team. We were getting such good looks, and that's because we were passing the ball so well.
felt game good
We felt this was a really important game to get off to a good start. But we'll regroup.
good playoff role team
They're a good team and still playoff material. I think they're going to play the spoiler role at this point.
box cast coach goes good hit lee mark pull stuck supporting
It just goes to show you how good his (Smith's) supporting cast is. We hit enough three's that I thought it would pull them out of it (the box and one), but Placer coach Mark Lee read us well and stuck to it.
excited great kids team
What a great team effort. I'm excited for the kids and the program.
basically pick
With Tyler, you basically have to pick your poison.
adept attacking ball came huge kennedy middle soft spread struggled surprising zone
We struggled a bit, which was surprising considering how many shooters we have. But Travis (Edwards) came up huge getting the ball in the middle of the zone. Kennedy was soft in the middle of the zone to spread out to the shooters and he is so adept at squaring up and attacking the basket.
afford allowing crash davis focus force glass kids needed pace post side tempo tonight
Our focus tonight was to force Davis to play at a pace that they were uncomfortable with. As big as they are we needed tempo to be on our side because allowing their big kids to crash the glass and post up, was not something we could afford to do.
cheer duplicate environment fans hostile loud team wish
It doesn't get more hostile than it was tonight. Their fans are loud and they cheer their team on. I only wish we could duplicate this environment at our place.
earned nice season streak together win
I think we earned a 2-seed. We put together a nice win streak to end the season and improved.
bench came coming depth difficult energy great guys half held johnson last minutes points six team third
Those guys came in off the bench and did a great job. In the last six and a half minutes of the third quarter, they held Johnson to six points and scored 18. That kind of depth and energy coming off the bench makes us a more difficult team to play against.
