best bishop came change fact game gave great short shot spoil state tremendous
We had a great season. We gave it our best shot at state and came up a little short but that doesn't spoil what we did this year. Bishop Gorman was a tremendous team. That game doesn't change the fact that we had a great year.
game
They complemented each other's game so well. They made each other better.
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.
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.
game girls plays practices rebound single thrives
You know, she's really not that big. But you won't see that many girls rebound like she does. She really thrives on it. And the way she plays the game is the same way she practices every single day.
good
They are a pretty good combination out there.
defense key reed remember stopping whenever worry
Our defense was the key to this game. Whenever you play Reed you have to worry about stopping their 3-point shooters. But you also have to remember that they have Kayla (Williams) inside. They can give you a lot of problems.
close focus great hands successful
That's a worry. You have to focus on her. She's been so successful when she's close to the basket. She has a great feel for where she is. She has great hands and can score.
advantage girls happy north run took
I was real happy to see that. We didn't let up. We didn't go back on our heels. I just think that after North Valleys, we wanted to run so much and the girls just took advantage of that.
deserved happy last seems three
I'm so happy for these girls. It seems like they've been with me forever. But they really deserved this. They've been through a lot the last three years.
bishop
We get to play Bishop Gorman. But that's all right. I'll take that.
girls named tired
Yeah, the other girls (not named Caitlin) are getting a little tired of it.
ball basket free gets quickly throw
She catches the ball well and she gets to the basket very quickly and gets to the free throw line.
