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.
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.
hope people score throw
Not with one person. We'll throw a lot of people at her. You know she's going to score but you just hope she doesn't get 30 on you.
game
They complemented each other's game so well. They made each other better.
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.
anderson balanced tried
We had to (get balanced scoring). They really tried to take (Caitlin) Crofts and Anderson out of the game.
decisions good happy
We wanted to run, but I was also happy to see that we were making good decisions with the ball.
bit jump team third
We kind of let down a little bit in the third quarter. And when you do that, a team like Gorman will jump all over you.
dogs everybody knows people step year
Everybody knows about our two big dogs. But we've had a lot of people step up this year for us.
good
They are a pretty good combination out there.
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.
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.
ask coming gets halfway needed starter three year
Megan had been a starter for three years but halfway through this year she's been coming off the bench. Megan gets in there for her defense. We really don't ask her to score. But, tonight, we needed it.
