enjoy gonna next ready tonight top work
They're on top of the world right now. Tonight we're gonna enjoy it, come back and get ready to go back to work on our next opponent.
games girls kept limited seven starters
I'm kind of limited in what I can do. I only kept seven girls on varsity, so I'm always going to have some starters in the game. We don't have a lot of flexibility with our schedule, so we're going to have some games where there's going to be a mismatch.
ball great played school
It's an all-star game; it's guard-oriented, so she didn't get the ball much. But she played great defensively and did our school proud.
against easy free inside line run sustained throw
They could probably run for days. I mean, they're that athletic. I think we just sustained it. Once they didn't get any easy baskets inside against us, we were able to get to the free throw line against them and put it away.
We're going to try to make it a 94-foot-by-50-foot game.
coaching group
I've only been coaching 10 years total, but I know you don't get a group like this very often.
against closer easy good miss point
If we play like that at any other point in the tournament, it's going to be a much closer game. Against good teams, you can't miss easy baskets like that.
against anytime closer easy four good kids minutes miss state teams
If we come out and play the first four minutes like that on Saturday, or anytime in the state tournament, it's going to be a much closer game. Against good teams you can't miss easy baskets like that, and our kids know it.
beat complete player polished post
She's the most complete player in the county. She'll post you up at guard, she'll beat you on the perimeter. She's very polished for her age.
ability ball court defensive great natural needs player sees shooting work
She's a great defensive player with great natural ability. She handles the ball and sees the court well. Her shooting is what she needs to work on.
basketball girls plays points quiet shoots team
It's probably the most quiet 1,000 points you're going to see. She plays on a team with a lot of girls who can score. Most times in women's basketball when you see a 1,000-point scorer it's usually someone who shoots the ball all the time.
alumni atmosphere far graduated neat
It's a really neat atmosphere around school. Everybody's excited. The administration has been so supportive. I'm getting e-mails from alumni who graduated as far back as 1982.
looking
It wasn't what we were looking for. It wasn't what we wanted.
easy few good job played seen since time took
That's the first time we've seen man-to-man since December. Everyone else has played us in a zone. It took us a while to get used to it, but we did a good job once we got a few easy baskets.
