It's tough to think like that because the goal was to win this regional and we thought we had to the team to do that. Delta outplayed us. They were more physical and had a nice run in the second half. They played such good defense, but our kids scrapped and competed the whole game.

basketball care played shooting took won
We played really well. We took care of the basketball, we rebounded the basketball and we won comfortably without shooting great.
