both defense early game good
It was a really good game with good defense from both teams. We got out early and they just wouldn't go away.
game good hard kids nine played playoffs regular work
We have nine kids that had never played in the playoffs before, so that was a good first game for them. That's why you work hard in the regular season, to get a good seed.
good last league love struggled
We struggled and persevered - I love it. This is good for our team. They thought once they got through preseason, league would be a cakewalk again. Things aren't like they were last year.
couple knew ours scoring surprised
We knew where their scoring was going to come from. They didn't know where ours would come from. Jenny made a couple of 3s, which I think they were surprised to see.
bench came smith took
We didn't play very well, and Colleen Smith came off the bench and ignited us. We took off from there.
defense playing pressured
We are playing really well now. Our three-quarter-court, man-to-man defense really pressured them.
came played second string
Our second string came in and played really well.
girls heads hearts hold laid last played year
You're always disappointed when you lose, but the girls played their hearts out. We told them to hold their heads high. Last year, we were shocked, but this year we were the underdogs. We had nothing to lose. The girls went and laid it all out on the line.
forward
This is what we look forward to. This is how it should be.
defense happy score tough
Defense has been our only consistent. Offensively, we score 70 in one game, then 29 in the next, it's been crazy. But our defense is always consistently tough and I'm real happy with that.
defense few girls hard main pieces playing
I think we're getting to where we want to be. We still have a few pieces to go, but the main thing is that all the girls are playing hard and our defense has been really good.
couple expected fun juniors nobody stepped
Jenny and Rachel really stepped up and did a couple of big things for us. It was fun to see the juniors do things that nobody expected them to do. That's what it's all about.
easy missed quarter
I think in that first quarter we could have been out by a lot more. We missed some easy shots.
close game girls hanging kept might overlooked
They kept hanging around and we couldn't close them out. I told the girls they better be ready. I think we might have overlooked them, but we still put the game away.
