basket easy final minute plenty shots win
We had plenty of opportunities to win that game. We could not make a basket in that final minute and we had some easy shots - they just wouldn't fall.
girls good leave time younger
It's never a good time to go because there's always younger girls you don't want to leave behind.
early nerves playing
We were playing so tentative early on. I don't know if it was nerves or what.
defense road saying true wins
We have to do it on the road from here on out. Defense wins championships. I've been saying that for 29 years and it's just as true now as it was back then.
community country dedicated former high mean school southern sports
We are a small, country school and I say that in a complimentary way. Sports at Southern High mean a lot to the community and I have such dedicated former players.
body powerful quicker sarah type
Sarah is a strong, powerful body type while Brittany is a taller, quicker player.
ball call decided desire early four intensity matter needed people pick season standing third time upset watching
I don't know what happened. We needed to pick up the intensity on defense. I was pretty upset when I had to call that timeout early in the third because we had four people standing there watching the ball go down the court. I had no idea that at this time in the season conditioning would be a problem. It was a matter of desire and intimidation that decided this game.
finding good hurt inside kick low plan proud shot surprised trouble wait
I was surprised that we could hurt them that much inside. We didn't think we would get many inside looks, so I was proud of Sarah's performance. I wanted them to go down low and then kick it back outside. The plan was to wait for the good shot but we had trouble finding it.
ball offense score soft touch
She has a soft touch and is able to score in the set offense or by getting the ball off the boards.
intensity playing stepped type
We stepped up the intensity and started playing our type of game.
ball guard hit offense open point runs
The point guard is very solid. She handles the ball strong, runs the offense well and can hit the open shot.
emphasize enjoy girls light screaming side
I really enjoy doing an all-star game. I like the girls to see me in some other light than screaming at them from the other side of the bench. I just wanted to emphasize for them to go out and have fun.
add consistency nice pride program
I pride myself on program consistency so it's nice to get back here. We had banners from the '70s, the '80s and the '90s and now we can add one for '06.
bench four girls happy playing range stretch
We have four girls that are all in the same range point-wise. I'm very happy with that kind of contribution. Then, my bench has been playing really well down the stretch here.
