challenge future looks
We'll still compete, but it will a challenge because we're so young. With all our young players, the future looks bright.
bad easy gave missed quarter shots third
The third quarter was bad because we missed a lot of easy shots and we gave up 20 points. We only gave up 16 the whole first half.
character games hard hours overtime played quite test win
I'll tell you what, two overtime games in 48 hours is quite a bit. It's just a test of our character and how hard we played to be able to win this game.
against chance close fantastic forward hope teams
Not too many teams get a chance to play against a state-ranked team that has only one loss. We look forward to that challenge. They're a fantastic team. I just hope it will be close so we have a chance at the end.
against came good patience shot within
In the first quarter, we shot two threes by Shaun, and every other shot came within the lane. We were able to do that against their zone, and I thought that was good patience and teamwork.
bottom gritty line pull tournament win
The bottom line in tournament play is just to advance, and while we were short-handed, we just wanted to pull the win out. It was a gritty performance.
continued fifth goes ongoing sixth time took
It's an ongoing thing, something he's continued to play through. This is probably the fifth or sixth time it's come out. It usually goes back in, but this time it took a little longer.
everybody heading momentum played wants
Everybody wants some momentum heading into the (Class AA) playoffs. I thought we played well.
defense gave point points third turning
The turning point was on defense, where we gave up 23 points in the first half, and 19 in the third quarter.
ball great half seen shoot shooting shot team tired
They shot the ball great in the first half I've never seen a team shoot so many threes (41 on the night). I think they got tired and were still shooting threes from the outside, and we started getting the ball inside.
adversity excuse fighting giving great pull together trying
There's no excuse for giving up so many points. But right now we're battling, fighting through a lot of adversity and trying to pull together as a team. All things considered, it was a great effort.
attacking basket came offensive skill sync
He came back, but I thought he was a little out of sync early. Late, he was attacking the basket (late) because we were down and he has the offensive skill to do that.
