easily fighting great kept kids mentally plugging position tent tough
We're mentally tough and we were not going to go away. We got down 10 and could have easily folded the tent on the big stage. The kids just kept fighting and plugging away and got us back into that thing. They put us in a great position at halftime.
behind coming five four hard kid legs minutes provide time year
You get to this time of year and one of the things we try to do is keep their legs fresh. When you know that you can go out there and go hard for three, four or five minutes . . . and then you're going to get a break, and that kid coming in behind you is going to provide a spark, it frees you up to do more.
defense good pressure
Our pressure defense was very strong. I thought our help-side defense was very good at times as well.
balanced defensive stingy team
They're a pretty balanced team, kind of like us. They're a very stingy defensive team as well.
crest excited
They're right in the crest right now. We're really excited about it.
balance consistent defense good played players pleased seven turned
I thought we played very good, consistent defense throughout. I was also pleased with our decision-making as we only turned it over seven times. Our balance was very good as well as we had 11 different players score.
foul head took
I think we got into her head a little during the first half, when she got into some foul trouble, and we kind of took her out of the game.
advice lend
Hopefully, the two of us, we can lend a little advice and a little experience.
group hopefully overwhelm situation time
Hopefully the situation doesn't overwhelm them though. Because a the same time it's still a game, and I think this group does well when they can relax.
angry bad either fault happened happy last next since taste team upset
Overall, I was very happy with the way we responded. We were either going to come out angry and upset and get that bad taste out of our mouth, or we were going to come out overconfident since we got (Glenwood) by 40 last time. I told them I wanted to see the first team - the one that was angry and wanted to take it out on somebody. It wasn't Glenwood's fault that we lost, they just happened to be next up on the schedule.
free gave hat lost plays seniors stepped throws tip won
Their seniors stepped up and made free throws - I think of the two one-and-ones there at the end. You have to tip your hat to them. I don't think we lost it or gave it away as much as they made plays and won it.
basketball helped map proud
I'm very proud of all of them. They helped put Harlan (girls) basketball back on the map ... a place it hasn't been in a while.
across build came chest early erased instead led locker nicole reading room sat wore
Instead of reading 'Denison' or 'Monarchs' across their chest - that was big not doing that. We sat over there, we wore white, we were in their locker room . . . we erased some of those (memories). And then Nicole came out and led us early with some big baskets to build our confidence.
hopefully
Hopefully we will be able to go out and give it everything we have.
