along challenge enjoy forward good looking played tall teams
It's a tall task, but it's a challenge we're looking forward to. We've played some pretty good teams along the way so we'll just go up there, do what we can do and then enjoy it.
four gave played points rest three
We didn't play very well defensively in the first quarter. We gave up 18 points in the first three or four minutes, but we played better the rest on the game.
against ball bit dexter easy friday game good moved played shoot starting
He got out in transition, got some easy buckets. He moved well on offense. He played a good game against Dexter Friday night, so he's starting to shoot the ball a little bit better for us.
speak
It was a little out of the ordinary. Usually they have a translator, or they speak English.
ahead district game love prepared seniors south three title tough win
These seniors have been in three district finals. We're as prepared as we can be (for the title game). I'd love nothing more than to win a district title, but we've got a tough game ahead of us (against South Iron).
bit defense defensive finally intensity kept picked playing quarter run second talking trying
Our defensive intensity finally picked up a little bit. We've been talking about trying to play better defense and playing with a little bit more energy. We started a little run there at the end of the second quarter and kind of kept it going from there.
feels guys high junior since
It feels good. I've been with these guys since junior high all the way up.
break enjoy feels four game good kids prepared talked year
It feels great. We've been here four years in a row, and its something we've talked about all year. One game doesn't make or break a season, but it feels good to get over the top. We've prepared for it all year and the kids should enjoy it tonight.
character playing road test win
We can come out and win third. Right now you may not think of it as much, but down the road you'll see it as a positive. It will be a test of character playing that game.
believe challenge extremely pass possession seen tempo
Typically, they pass about 20 times each possession when they get it on offense. So they're extremely deliberate. That's something that we haven't seen a lot of down in this area, so it'll be something new to us. I believe the challenge is getting the tempo up to where we want it to be.
bench contribute good helped
I'd contribute that to our bench. Our bench did a good job, as it had all season. That helped us be fresher at the end.
performance shooting worst
Obviously, that's the very worst performance we've had shooting all year.
bit playing quite time
We rotate quite a bit and got a lot of playing time for everyone tonight.
bit defend past work
We can't look past them. They've been a little bit up and down this year. We've got to come out and defend and work on that on first.
