overlook position
Right now, we're not in a position to overlook anybody.
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.
came played second string
Our second string came in and played really well.
atmosphere battle close game hard played playoff
That was a real battle and it was like a playoff atmosphere n it was real exciting. We played hard and it was a knock-out, drag-out game that was close all the way.
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.
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.
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.
eight inside plant sewer six
We had eight or 10 on roads. We had another six go down inside the sewer plant property.
defense playing pressured
We are playing really well now. Our three-quarter-court, man-to-man defense really pressured them.
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.
active improved inside nice
It's nice having her back. She was active inside and got some big rebounds. She's really improved as a shooter, probably because that's all she was able to do when she was hurt.
gym noise
It was a playoff-type atmosphere. It was for first place, the gym was crowded, there was a lot of noise It was a big game, one we really wanted.
