forget tip travel
Obviously, the travel is an issue. This was the worst-case scenario. When we tip off, I think we should forget about it, though.
amount coaching confidence green light playing staff tremendous
They all have the green light and know the coaching staff has a tremendous amount of confidence in everyone that was out there. Even when they're not scoring, they're playing defense.
green knows light
Bridget knows she has the green light from outside. She did an outstanding job.
halftime hitting knew reason team
We knew that they had 3-point shooters so if they started hitting threes it would be a different game. We were up 15 at halftime but we weren't comfortable because this team was here for a reason and, if they hit some threes, it could be a different game.
balls chased flying seem shots taking
They were taking some shots that were flying off the rim, and we didn't seem to be getting any of those. I think that was the difference. They chased down more balls than we did.
heck mean previous seems
It's a heck of a feat. It seems like every year, the previous year's accomplishments don't mean anything to these girls. They want to get back there.
extremely games hard knew left played time tried year
We've been in a lot of big games this year and we've played an extremely hard schedule. We knew there was a lot of time left when we were down. We just tried to keep our composure.
couple feeling plays press pressure time
We didn't want to press right out of the gate. But I had a feeling it was time to put the pressure on them. I just thought we could make a couple plays right there if we pressed.
hurt matter regulation
It didn't matter if it was regulation or overtime. It was going to hurt.
focusing playoffs state thinking
We're not even thinking about the state playoffs yet. We're just focusing on the WPIAL playoffs.
games kids tight walk
That's how tight our kids are. I'd like to walk to all our games, but we'd have to play here again.
execute harder repeat trying
I think it's the same every year. You have to play well, you have to execute on all fronts come the playoffs. I don't think it's any harder because you're trying to repeat or do it for the first time. You have to play well.
beat easy fourth hard team three until
I think it is hard to beat a team three times. That was not an easy game. Even with a 20-point lead, I didn't feel comfortable until the fourth quarter.
challenged kids
Rebounding is all about will. At halftime, I challenged our kids' will.
