days good thursday
We feel like we had two good days (of practice) Thursday and Friday.
attack confident games good great ourselves
We've put ourselves in a great position. We need to be confident about that and feel good about that. Now let's go attack some of these games and get it done.
adjusting behind change good half job kids normally plan second time tougher tried
Our kids did a good job of adjusting (defensively) when we had to go to Plan B. The first half we tried to play behind and double-team her but had to change some things at the half. We went back to what we normally do and that's pressuring the ball. She had a tougher time in the second half scoring. In the first half it was so easy.
bothered good guards pressure shots
We made some big shots when we had to have ?em. Their guards are really good and they put pressure on us and bothered us all night.
balanced both coach extremely good hard playing point position relationships shows teammates trust worked
The position that she plays, I feel, is about relationships. Relationships with your coach and with your teammates and I think she's worked extremely hard in both of those areas. There is a lot of trust between us and with her and her teammates. And if everybody's playing well and we're as balanced as we are (offensively), that shows we have a good point guard.
attendance decided entire good great kids led percent senior six summer team tone took weeks
The kids just decided they were going to be a really great team and they were really committed. The six weeks of our summer schedule, we had 100 percent attendance out of our entire senior class. That's just how they went about doing things. They just decided they were going to be good and it took off from there. They set a great tone and led by example.
enjoy good
I'm going to enjoy this one. This is a big win. Fayetteville is a very good team.
good guards hunt kids players sandy second seems
They have good players and their guards are as good as anybody's. Sandy always seems to get her kids to play hard. We never for a second underestimated then or thought they wouldn't be good. They'll be in the hunt for the playoffs.
expect game possession
When you have Southside on your jersey, you expect to win. It's a game that we look at as a one or two possession game.
finish scores scrap shots stops together
We thought if we could finish some possessions with shots and scrap to keep them off the boards, we could get back into the game. We put together some scores and stops and things started to snowball for us.
bigger describe passion passionate people played running shows
To me, out-rebounding people that are bigger than you and running down long rebounds, that shows a real passion for the game. That's how I describe the way that she played it. She's just real passionate about making a difference.
athletic believe
Believe it or not, yeah. They?re big and athletic and they?re very physical.
breaks free handle ourselves self shot
We self-destructed in so many phases. The free throws, the turnovers. We couldn't handle the ball. Just things like that. We didn't get any breaks (from the officials) but we shot ourselves in the foot, too.
beam care focus games home next road six state tournament wanna
We wanna focus like a laser beam on these next six (games). We want to take care of our home games and find a way (to win) on the road and keep going after that state tournament berth. That?s what we set out to do.
