bit foul game guys knock line missed panicked percent shooting shots team week
As a team going into this game we were shooting 52 percent at the line and we still missed some foul shots that we've got to knock in. I told the guys this week we've got to shoot better than we've been shooting or else it's going to come back and get us. I think they started to see that a little bit and panicked a little bit.
ball bit defense focused good guys inside needed runs special sure tried turned
Guys just focused a little more, we executed a little bit better and we got the ball inside where we needed to. We didn't do anything special to have those runs other than we turned up our defense a little bit and tried to get stops. We were a little more focused offensively and made sure we got good scores.
against credit defense drought gave good hard hit hole major played plays solid tough type
We hit a major drought and I give a lot of credit to their defense. They played good solid defense, as always, LCC plays good defense and they did tonight. It's hard to overcome. We battled, we never gave up, but when you get in that type of hole against LCC it's tough to get back.
chance hurt loss ourselves redeem
It was a chance to redeem ourselves from the loss that hurt the most.
half knock knocking offensive rebounds shots
We didn't knock down some shots that we were knocking down the first half and they got some offensive rebounds that I don't think they were getting in the first half.
ball capable dribble good hit job knocked needed nice open plays randy run shots stepped tight
Brownie stepped up and did hit some big shots when we needed them, because it was a very tight ball game. He got open and knocked them down like he's capable of doing. Randy did a very good job of creating, making plays off the dribble and finishing. It was a nice run for us. We needed it.
basketball boards body crashed offensive somebody sure tried
We wanted to go get the basketball and we really crashed the offensive boards with a little more passion. Defensively we tried to make sure we got a body on somebody and try to get the basketball.
foul free good hope miss pray shots strategy stretch team teams throws
That's what a good team does, they make their free throws down the stretch and they did that. That's a strategy you use when your down at the end and you hope and pray they miss their foul shots and they didn't. That's what good teams do, they make them.
capable lead led looking overly played pleased proud seniors start team year
I wasn't overly pleased with the way we played to start the game, but I was proud of our seniors the way they led our team to play to our ability. At the end we did play to what we're capable of and our seniors led and that's what we've been looking for all year ù our seniors to lead the team. I was proud of the way they did that tonight.
achieved biggest concern goal winning
My biggest concern was that we achieved our goal of winning sectional.
coaches feels good group hard kids preparing watching work
It feels great. A lot of hard work scouting, preparing and watching film, but more importantly there is a lot of good coaches out there that don't have a group like I have. If you don't have kids like I have this year, there is no way we could be doing the things we're doing now.
ball composure early effort eventually game good great himself kept open points quite score stayed teammates throughout within
He (Reed) had a great night. He kept his composure throughout the game and stayed focused. Early things weren't quite going his way, but he stayed within himself and then eventually things started to open up for him and good things happened. His teammates got him the ball and there is no way he could score those points without his teammates making that effort to get him the basketball.
ask days defense five games good kids three
Three games in five days is a lot to ask out of these kids and I think this was a combination of that, their good defense and us being a little fatigued.
ball battle battles chance either game guys losses major margin win wins
I told the guys if you look at our losses its either the turnover battle or the rebounding battle that we haven't won. Those are the two major battles you've got to win in a ball game if you're going to have a chance to win. It (Rebounding advantage) was a big margin and that wins you ball games.
