decisions good happy
We wanted to run, but I was also happy to see that we were making good decisions with the ball.
kept slowing strategy
Finally. We were 2-of-10 before to that point. If we would've kept that up, that strategy for them (fouling and slowing down the game) would've worked.
game
They complemented each other's game so well. They made each other better.
allowed four needed row stretch three
We needed a run. We needed a stretch where we could get three or four turnovers in a row to get back in the game. But they never allowed us to do that.
strong
They're big, strong and can shoot. They are very, very good.
anderson coach game great matt north open played shots tried valleys
North Valleys played very well. (Panthers coach) Matt (Murphy) had a great game plan. We did just enough to win. He tried to take (Caitlin) Crofts and (Caitlin) Anderson out of the game and did. We had some open shots that we didn't hit.
create finally fourth north pace pick played quarter took valleys
North Valleys played really well and took us out of some things. We were finally able to create some turnovers in the fourth quarter and pick up the pace a little.
bottled happy north run valleys
I think Caitlin was pretty happy today, just because she could get out and run a little. North Valleys bottled her up pretty good.
amy great
Langley (Iverson) and Amy Scott have really done a great job.
game girls last regional understand win won
Our girls understand they haven't won a regional game in a while (their last postseason win was the championship game of the 2001 regional). So we'll be focused.
against came game girls night north played regional seemed tough wednesday
Our first game (in the regional Wednesday night against North Valleys) was very nerve-wracking. That was a tough game for us. But (on Friday) the girls seemed a lot more relaxed. They just came out and played well and had some fun.
few good involved looks mind needs score selfish yelled
I get on her the most when she is being the most unselfish. I always tell her that she needs to score more. I've yelled at her a few times about that. But she always looks to get everyone involved first. She could be a very good scorer. I wouldn't mind that one bit. But she's just not selfish like that.
rather stay time
That doesn't matter. I would rather stay away from them this time of year.
great job players reed shutting type
It was just a gut-it-out type of game. A lot of our players had a gut-check tonight. Reed did a great job of shutting us down inside.
