I think their pressure did get to us. We weren't expecting it. We had kind of that deer-in-headlights look.

I thought their pressure did get to us. We weren't expecting it and we were kind of deer-in-the-headlights, not knowing what to do.
bit block defense looked needed offensive played press score second shot sluggish step
We needed to step up our defense in the second half, because we looked and played a bit sluggish in the second quarter. We had to keep them to just one shot and to block them out from getting offensive rebounds. We did that and got some opportunities to score on the press break.

We had decent looks and we were getting fouls. The thing was, we just didn't convert.
decisions patient worked
We made better decisions offensively. We were much more patient and worked the clock.
ball credit offense patience patient pressure problem putting showing team threw year
Give (North Beach) credit for putting pressure on us, but we weren't very patient on offense and we just threw the ball inside. That's been a problem all year for us. We're not showing a lot of patience on offense. We're not working as a team right now.

It was a very physical game and I felt we were a bit sluggish after Tuesday night's game (a four-point loss to league-leading Hoquiam). I felt like we were a step behind.

It came down to our seniors. They gave us the leadership and intensity.

He doesn't allow one second of down time ... we're either yelling, or chanting, or playing, or screaming - it's all about focus. We train for music and marching but we also practice spirit.
came defeat definitely girls intensity knew last played proud team time top
I'm definitely proud of how the girls came out and played with intensity and heart. This after a 27-point defeat the last time we played them. I knew we could compete, but they had to come out and play with intensity. They showed that they could play with the top team in the league.
