best came coming game kept talking
I kept talking about it all week. You know, preparation ... we're doing new stuff. At the same time, it's coming ... it's coming ... and then, all of a sudden, BAM! It came out. And we played, I think, our best game of the year.
built came early led nicole
Nicole came out and led us early and got some big baskets and built our confidence.
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.
came night sudden together
All of a sudden that night we just came together and clicked.
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.
bounds consistent far given grow high knock leaps low points presence sit watch
It's amazing. I sit there and just watch her grow in leaps and bounds every game. She's given us that presence down low as far as the points, and that's just so important for us because those are the consistent points that are always going to be there. The threes may not be, but you know the five-footers . . . you can knock down at a high percentage.
composure lost second seemed
It seemed like Lacey lost some of her composure (in the first half). And she regained her composure in the second half.
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.
advance game hour ready
There's no aesthetics anymore, you just want to survive, advance and live to play another day. We'll (practice Sunday) for about an hour and then get ready for a very scrappy, very game Creston team.
coming maybe motivate satisfied team trying
Our team was maybe a little satisfied coming into the game. Right now we're just trying to find something to motivate them (again).
angles attempts build free gave goal hands hope move rather reaching stop talk throw time trying year
I don't know why we do that. That's one of the things we talk about before (every game). Our goal is to keep (opponents) at 10 free throw attempts or less, and we gave them 25 tonight. We've just got to move our feet, we've got got to stop reaching with our hands and we've got to take better angles - things that at this time of year you hope to be fine-tuning rather than trying to go back and build a foundation.
attitude happy talked trying win
One of the things we talked about is not this attitude we're not just happy to be there. We're going there for business, and we're trying to win some games.
chance experience seniors seven
More importantly, I wanted them (the players) to have a chance to get there and experience that. Seven seniors ... what a way to go out. What a way to go out.
bounce definitely seems
She definitely seems to have the bounce back in her step.
