factor game great inside job kids limiting practice question second smith stepped work
Smith is a ton, no question about it. We work in practice simulating what he does, but it's tough. Our kids did a great job limiting his opportunities in the second half. He wasn't a factor in the second half, but their inside game stepped up.

We understand our size situation and we try not to make an issue of it. They did a good job utilizing their two post players.
bad enjoyable fell hard kids lose played scratched
We scratched and clawed, we just fell short. That's the bad part. Our kids played so hard and have nothing to show for it. This was fun, but it's never as enjoyable when you lose as when you win.

Every day is new challenge, and we have to get ready for our next one.

You have to give Oswego East some credit in this game. After their loss the other night, they came out ready to play. I was impressed with their intensity.

defensive shoot
When you don't shoot well, it magnifies any defensive flaw.

Dana spotted up, had his hands and feet squared and shot with confidence. I was pleased with how our kids played with poise down the stretch.
fight grind group maturing process scoring
When you're not scoring very much, you just have to fight through it and grind it out. That is really what we did. It's a maturing process for this group and I would like to think we're getting better.

Our pressure certainly was the key. The press got us some second-chance points. I thought Kyle Hackworth helped us out a lot.
