confidence continued finally good shooting shot staying taking
We just finally got confidence back. I think we just continued to keep working, keep shooting while still staying disciplined on their shot selection. We were taking good shots.
against lady plugging rolling uphill
We were out of synch. Everything that we had to do (Tuesday) was always an uphill battle. (The Lady Bulldogs) were just plugging away and we could never a flow. We could never get things rolling against them.
dry
We went dry a little bit. We couldn't find the range, but that's how it goes.
ball dry games helped played shot spells
We had some dry spells in some games where I know she could have helped us out. She shot the ball well, she played hard. She had all the intangibles.
biggest came hit huge man minutes played proud senior shots year
Man I'm proud of her. She came through. She's played (junior varsity) all her career. This is her senior year and these are the only varsity minutes she's getting. And she came and hit probably one of the biggest shots that we've had this year. It was just a huge shot.
difficult fourth kids line needed quarter stepped
We made it a lot more difficult than we needed it to be. But the ones that stepped up to the line in the fourth quarter were the gamers. Those are the kids we want at the line.
basketball four game good high level missed percentage pushed shot three turned win
We had opportunities to win the game tonight, we just didn't capitalize. It wasn't one opportunity. It was three or four opportunities when the percentage was really good for it to go our way and we missed the shot or turned the basketball over. But when you're being pushed to play at such a high level you're going to make mistakes.
huge piece puzzle
She's going to be another huge piece of the puzzle to replace, too.
ball chance confidence early excellent found game girls good job offensive player playing rebounds rhythm second third
She found her rhythm early in the game by getting offensive rebounds and things like that. She's a good player for us and she's just playing well for us. Our girls are doing an excellent job of distributing the ball to her and she's doing an excellent job getting the second and third chance opportunities and scoring. She's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
basketball compliment executing girls great job looking moved open plays screens setting thankful tonight
She moved so well without the basketball tonight and you have to compliment our girls because they did a great job looking for her. I?m just thankful the girls did a great job of executing the plays and setting screens for her and getting her a lot of open looks.
beat came good reason state weak
I feel really good (going into the state tournament) and the reason I feel really good is we didn't get beat by a weak team. We came in here and we were just two possessions short. I'll take that any day.
four gave grit hard needed played shows throughout true
It shows the true grit of our girls. They never gave up. They played hard throughout the whole four quarters. At times they didn't play well but most of the part we did the things we needed to do to win.
creates deficit difficult
It really creates such a deficit for us to come back from. Sometimes it's just real difficult to come down here and win.
attention confidence game good hitting last mistakes pay shots
We're hitting shots and we're getting our confidence back. We just have to be able to pay attention to the little details. The last game and a half, that's what we've been doing minimizing our mistakes and making good shot selections.
