approach beat continuing district games knew mindset night quality region row secret takes team tough wins
These two wins were huge. We beat two quality teams. Now the secret is continuing it into district and region play. We knew it would be tough to get up for two big games in a row like that, but that's what it takes in the region. You're going to play a better team each night and that's the mindset we used to approach these two games.
against anyone press step
We feel we can step up against anyone and make our press effective.
loves type
She's been doing that all year. She did it in the district. She loves this type of atmosphere. It's in her blood. She doesn't have any fear.
She has been doing that for us all year.
deal happy obviously rose weapons
Obviously we're disappointed, but we're happy we got this far. We had a lot of weapons to deal with in Rose Hill, but things just didn't go our way.
learned third
We learned from the first two meetings. We wanted this third game.
against both hurt inside played queen size terry trouble
I think their size hurt us. Terry and Queen hurt us inside and out. Both of them played really well and we had trouble against them.
eighth free throws
Those were big-time free throws for an eighth grader.
attacking builds continue defense good half last points press regional stopped team tournament
Offensively, we need to keep attacking the basket. There were times in the regional tournament when we stopped doing that. And our press has been pretty good over the last half of the season. We need to continue getting points off our defense -- that's something this team builds on.
against ball breaking middle moving pass quickly speed wait zone
Against the zone we don't want to hesitate. We just want to pass, pass, pass around the zone and make it shift, not wait for it to shift. Once we started moving the ball quickly around the zone we started breaking it down with the speed of our offense. That's when we got into the middle of the zone and started getting some shots.
ball care forcing foul game job line nice taking
I thought we did a much better job getting to the line in overtime. That's our game and we got the ball to the rim. We did a nice job taking care of the ball and forcing them to come out and foul us when we got the lead.
chance cut
I thought we had a chance to come back. Once we cut it to six, I thought they'd tighten up, and they did.
attack goal hurt size zone
Our goal was to attack them on offense. Their size hurt us a lot, and the zone kind of got in our way.
factor good help hopefully manual motivational paid schedule seen strength using
We've been using the strength of our schedule as a motivational factor for a while now. We've seen Assumption, Mercy, Franklin-Simpson, Butler, Manual and a lot of other really good teams. I think our schedule paid off in the regional, and hopefully it will help at state.
