atmosphere excitement mind sitting
I don't mind them sitting up front. It's part of the excitement and atmosphere of the game.
couple nice
It would have been a nice win, and we should have had it. Just a couple of things here and there ...
hitting putting scores size top
Argonaut is the top team. The scores they've been putting up and their size is the big thing. They're also really hitting the boards.
although ball defense early hit taking took zone
Early on, our defense wasn't really good. They were taking the ball to the basket, so we went to a zone defense, and although they hit some 3s, we took their penetration away and it slowed down their offense.
intense shots stay
We have to make shots all the way around. And we have to stay intense the whole time.
free good shoot
(Linden) didn't shoot particularly well and we made our free throws. Twenty-two for 32 is pretty good for us.
free problem throws year
Free throws have been a problem all year for us.
good last playoff seniors
We at least clinched a playoff spot. It's good for the seniors who didn't get to go last year.
above believe given head shoulders team wait win
I still believe that any team can win on any given night. Argonaut is head and shoulders above everyone now, but we'll have to wait and see.
allow amount anxious beat college columbia finals games lost style teams three tournament
Summerville beat Mariposa, which has lost just three games and went to the finals of the Columbia College tournament and beat Downey and Sierra. And Calaveras, with their style of play, can make teams anxious because they don't allow them the same amount of possessions they're used to.
playing
We're playing better. We just have to keep getting better each week.
win
We gutted it out at the end. We'll take any win we can get.
confidence hoped playing starting
They're starting to play the way we hoped they'd play all year. They're playing with confidence and getting things done.
ball steals turned
They had a lot of steals and we turned the ball over a lot.
