ball good practices shoot shot
We had two good practices and we shot the ball really well. I thought we'd shoot it well, but we didn't, especially in the first half.
ball beat defend fewest given hang hat kids playing pleasant points row second shooting since year
Ever since Mt. Pleasant beat us, we've been playing very, very well. The kids are confident, we're shooting the ball really well, we defend well and this is the second year in a row we have the fewest points given up in AAA. That's something we hang our hat on, and we're going to defend you.
people
We got contributions from a lot of people tonight.
coming forward good last looking played saw team test year
We played them last year and saw them in team camp, and they're pretty good, and they're coming on strong. They'll be a good test for us, but we're looking forward to it.
achieve bought capable fact games great scoring trying win
He's a great 'system guy' that has bought into the fact that we want to win games. He's capable of scoring 30 or 40 in a game, but he doesn't have to do that for us. I think he really epitomizes what we're trying to achieve as a team.
area fans good great saw
This was great for area basketball. Fans saw a lot of good basketball.
coach develop ready saw system team trying
They have a new coach (Andy Hendrick) and a new system and, when we saw them in team camp, the new coach was still trying to develop his guys. But I know they'll be ready and they'll be a challenge.
foul game gets shot stop
I said before the game this would come down to who gets the big rebound, who makes the stop defensively, who makes the foul shot at the end.
