challenged girls halftime step
We challenged the girls at halftime to step up.
ask deserved extremely game girls hard hats played poise proud run shot team tough win won
They are a tough team to come back on, they are well coached, run things extremely well and they play hard. My hats off to them, they deserved it ... they won tonight. It was what a championship game should be all about. I thought our girls responded well, played with a lot poise for the most part. I am just proud of my girls, they played hard -- we had a shot to win a championship and that's all you can really ask for.
anyone asked girls time
I called time out and I asked the girls if anyone was worried. They weren't.
distance excited girls good missed opportunity playing program quarter shots third tournament
The girls were really excited for the opportunity (playing for the title). We went back a lot of years in the program and we couldn't ever find us playing for an in-season tournament championship anywhere. We had a real good idea what Marquette was going to do. I don't know if it was fatigue, but we just missed some shots in the third quarter and let them get a little distance between them and us.
came early few maybe missed momentum nice runs shots swung
We missed a few shots early where we could of maybe swung the momentum our way and we had a few runs there, we did some nice things. We just came up a little short.
game seemed sit step thoughts watch
She seemed to be a step slow. Sometimes you need to sit down, get your thoughts and watch the game a little.
bull girl quick red
She's just so quick for a girl her size. If we try to go quick she'll just bull us down low. If we try to put our big girl on her, she's just too quick. They're (the Red Devils) just so good.
coach floor given knew needed taken work
She had to work a lot. I probably should have taken her out, given her a little break, but I knew she wanted to be on the floor and I needed her on the floor because she's like a coach out there.
games group last played regional seniors title won year
I have a group of seniors who played for a regional title last year and won 20 games and they know what to do.
effort extremely hit missed opportunity proud
This was a missed opportunity for us. I was extremely proud of the girl's effort tonight. We just didn't hit enough shots.
coach fun shooting team watch
We've been a streaky shooting team all year. When we're on, we're fun to watch and they're fun to coach because I don't have to do too much.
half nice second start year
It's a nice start for the second half for us. We're 2-0 in the new year and, hopefully, we can keep it going.
bit knew played
We knew what they were going to do, we knew how they were going to do it. They just played a little bit better then we did.
lost
We'd like another chance; we lost to them at Amboy.
