couple mistakes
A couple of mistakes here and there were the difference.
ball came took
They just came out and took the ball to the basket. But we were able to get back in the game.
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.
glad kids played rewarded
The kids played well for us this season, and I'm glad to see them get rewarded with this selection.
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.
couple nice
It would have been a nice win, and we should have had it. Just a couple of things here and there ...
After the first game, we were very competitive.
ahead game
The one game we were ahead by 10 (against Amador) is the only one we lost.
intensity level midway picked quarter second six spell
Defensively our intensity level picked up. They went through a spell of about 25 possessions from midway through the second to about mid-third quarter where they only scored six points.
ball steals turned
They had a lot of steals and we turned the ball over a lot.
happen high school second
There was only one second left, but you never know what can happen in a high school game.
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.
