came flat players teams tendency third time year
We just came out flat. Sometimes your teams will do that. Normally, one or two players will come out that way. But we have a tendency as a team to come out that way. This is about the third time this year we've come out flat as a team.

That's the whole purpose of putting them on the line. Those have to be our rebounds.

I think once (West Memphis) saw the man-to-man they got a little anxious with the ball. We'd just been sitting back a little on defense, and all of a sudden we got more aggressive when we switched to a man.
ball hits outside practice practices shoots
She shoots the ball well from outside and practices it a lot. She hits those consistently in practice.
break four game needed rest season time
This was the first time this season that she's been out of a game for that long a time. I thought she could play the rest of the game with four fouls. But she needed a break so I could think about it.
face half lane missed night second shots
Defensively, they were in our face the whole night. But there were a lot of times, particularly in the first half and second quarter, when we were in the lane and missed a lot of shots that were point-blank.
night potential score
Kayla has the potential to score 15 every night. We just have to make her know that she has that ability.
against block extremely played player poorly rebound seems west
I didn't think we played that poorly against West Memphis. We just didn't block out and rebound very well. And against Forrest City, we played extremely flat. It seems like with this team, if one player comes out flat, they all do.
