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.
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).
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.
against case confidence doctor last needed oak offense ordered red shoot shot struggled terms tonight turning week
We needed this. It was kind of what the doctor ordered because last week we struggled in terms of scoring. We put up 44 against Red Oak and 48 against LC, and our offense is better than that. It wasn't a case where we were turning it over, it was a case where we didn't shoot well, and tonight we shot it very, very well. We got some confidence back.
bit continued defensive efficiency offensive putting screws slow start
We got off to a little bit of a slow start but continued to tighten the defensive screws as well as putting our offensive efficiency together.
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.
built came early led nicole
Nicole came out and led us early and got some big baskets and built our confidence.
bounce definitely seems
She definitely seems to have the bounce back in her step.
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.
basketball gave girls locker map position proud room understand
I told them in the locker room that I was very proud of them. I told them to be disappointed in the loss, because you gave it everything you had and I understand the tears, but at the same time, you have put Harlan girls basketball back on the map in a position that it has not been for awhile.
job kids mentally staying tough
It wasn't pretty at times, but we toughed our way through it. These kids are mentally tough and they did an outstanding job of staying that way for 32 minutes, because it's a tough environment.
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.
attack bit game head high matter maybe quality somebody stay team time
It's a game where it doesn't matter who it is, the team is going to be a quality team. Maybe there's a little bit of disappointment that it's not Denison, but also maybe you get away from the head game, too - 'oh, it's Denison.' Now it's somebody different, but at the same time you can't relax. You still have to stay at a high level, go out and attack them.
