We didn't make huge adjustments. We talked about going up stronger with the ball, and our kids did a good job blocking the passing lanes.
bigger bit coaching deeper gone higher might nice playing seed since
We've gone in as a No. 3 and a No. 4 since I started coaching here. It's nice to be the higher seed, but I think that's a bit neutralized because we're in the 5A tourney. I think a 5A No. 4 seed might be like a 4A No. 2 seed. We'll be playing deeper teams, bigger teams.

chance defense easy giving halftime letting points second seven stepped stops straight talked third transition
We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and not letting them have second chance points. I think half their points were in transition off turnovers.

He has a work ethic that I've never seen in a kid his age. When he works out, he really works out.
easy five four giving great half halftime minutes misses played points quarter seven six stops talked third transition
We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half. I think half their points were on transition off from our misses and turnovers. We got about five or six stops out of seven of their possessions. I think the first four or five minutes of the third quarter we played great defense.
ball defense great physical played skyline
Skyline played great defense. They were very physical with us and we just couldn't get the ball to go in.

The last thing I expected was that kind of offensive game, but it just shows that the state tournament is a different beast.
