basketball beat close crowd fourth good great high hit home nice quality quarter school team terms time win
This was a big win in terms of the district, but it's a big win any time you beat a good quality team on their home court. We had a nice fourth quarter and we hit a lot of free-throws at the end ... and you know, this is what high school basketball is all about. The crowd was into it and it was close all the way through, and it was just a great ball game.
allowed good percent shoot tone undoing
Our undoing was the first quarter. We allowed them to shoot 77 percent and that got them going. That didn't set a good tone for us. I know we can do better.
choice good nobody street team
I'm going to do what I can to win, and if it's not good enough, they'll tell me, ... But there's a big difference. This year, if we do well and I can get this team to win, it's my choice what I want to do at the end of the year. It's nobody else's. This isn't just a one-way street here.
death difficult five games good happened looks scare six win work
I know what they're going through. It's a difficult situation. It looks good on paper, but it doesn't always work that way. When they made the deal, I thought they were going to be more athletic. They scare me to death because they have talent. Who knows, they can win one or two games and then win five or six in a row. That's what happened to us.
ball bat good hitting home nice pitch swinging trying
Dara has been swinging the bat real well, hitting the ball real hard. She's trying to get some good at-bats. She went with the pitch for the home run. She's doing a real nice job.
good mesh seem together
They have good chemistry; they seem to mesh really well. They play together a lot.
basis consistent drive game good half hurting obviously plan quickness rat second start starts tough
After a tough start -- these starts are hurting us on a consistent basis -- the second half was much better. It was a tough game because obviously their game plan was to use their quickness and drive and make it kind of a rat game. It was a good game plan. They had us on our heels.
ability certainly game gone haunted maybe score year
What's haunted us all year is our ability to score goals. I thought that was a game where we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three.
against atlanta earned fight kick ourselves time victories
We had some time but they smothered us. We'll look back and kick ourselves about what could have been, but you've got to give Atlanta credit. They fight hard, they play well, they earned the victories against us.
struggle
When Mike's out of the game, we really struggle offensively. We need him on floor.
along blue course grass hole plains stem talked
We talked about naming the course Blue Stem Plains and this hole will have the blue-stem grass planted along it.
against played smile smiles
I did not know one person who played with him or against him who didn't like him. The smile was contagious. He would be laughing, and everyone would be laughing.
guys mean media ncaa seeds time
I don't know what you guys (in the media) expected. This is the NCAA tournament. You think it's going to be a blowout, and it's not. Seeds mean nothing this time of year.
blow chance glad guys kidding ncaa penn teams
I don't know what you guys expect. This is the NCAA Tournament. If you guys think we're going to blow teams out, then you don't have a feel for what we're doing. Are you kidding me? I'm glad we're getting a chance to play one more time. Let's give Penn credit. It was what I expected.
