backing drive easy giving shots thinking
We were giving them easy shots because we were backing off a step, thinking they were going to drive to the basket.
ball five four hole possession shots
We just couldn't put the ball in the hole in that quarter. We'd have four or five shots on one possession and still couldn't score.
fun girls great
I'm having fun with it. I'm not going to lie. I like having my own team. And the girls are doing a great job.
finishing quick rushing turn
I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.
girls happened history last locker nobody repeat room
I know we had a lot of girls in that locker room who didn't want history to repeat itself. Nobody said a lot about it but I know they didn't want to see a repeat of what happened last year.
kindness year
That's kind of how we've been all year at the line. We've been in and out all year.
figure half took
It took us about a half before we could figure them out. But once we got a feel for them, we were OK.
came free
It just came down to who made the most free throws.
coached girls since sixth transition
I've coached a lot of these girls since they were in sixth grade. So they know me. I know them. The transition was real easy.
expected game lie lies-and-lying next nobody proud state teams tonight year
They wanted it. I'm not going to lie to you. But we want to come back here next year and do this again. Nobody expected us to be here. It's like I told the girls. Only two teams in the state got to play in this game tonight and we were one of them. That's something to be proud of.
against came forced game hard inside offense
Offense was the hard part against them. They are just so big. They wouldn't give us the 3-point shot, and that forced us to go inside where they have so much size. It came down to an inside game and we struggled.
girls giving
The girls are responding. They are giving it their all.
