attempted chances defense faces few half hand hurting john played second shot west
We shot better in the first half, but played better defense in the second. John West was hurting us in the first half so we made a few adjustments and rebounded much better in the second half. We didn't let him get many second chances in the second half and we put a hand in their faces when they attempted three-pointers, too.
flat half happy played second shooting
Their second half shooting got them back in the game. We also played a little flat in the second half, but I'm just happy to get the win.
best defensive efforts felt
It was very much like old Plano basketball. I felt it was one of our best defensive efforts all year.

Eric willed this team. He carried us on his back. I love his team spirit.

We've got right now what I was hoping to have in mid-January. I see a really seasoned, composed team.

That's their deal. They decided to do it.
bar best coach defensive gary state teams
Mesquite is one of the best defensive teams in the state of Texas. With Gary Taylor, there you have what may be the best coach in the state, bar none.
along blossoming both jessica jimmy joe superstar
Jimmy was a blossoming superstar at Plano East. Jessica had to live up to him. Then Joe comes along and has to live up to both of them.
awe composure
He's a freshman, but not in awe of the game. He has a lot of composure for a young kid.
against history rather success
I don't know that history will play into it. They probably know all that stuff. We do feel like we've had a lot of success against them. At first I didn't like having to play them in the semifinal, now I think I'd rather play them right away.
affected ball came floor gym shocked surprised
I'd be really surprised if they came out wide-eyed. The floor is still the same length. It is still a gym with two baskets and the ball is still the same shape. I'd be shocked if it affected our guys.
asleep people putting
We're not consistently putting people asleep when we need to.
against bad chance defending disney mixed perfect win
We have a chance to win our first championship against the defending champion. It's the perfect storybook script. It's a bad Disney movie. Its 'Miracle on Ice' and 'Rookie of the Year' all mixed into one. They wouldn't film something like that. I'll film the documentary.
game home lose win
Tuesday's game is huge. Not only did we lose the first time, we're also at home this time. We need to win our home games.
