game player score type
She's the type of player than can take over a game and not score a point.
force issue
We didn't feel like we could get a whole lot of steals, but we wanted to force the issue and try to make conditioning a factor.
half heads momentum second
We're going in (at halftime) with our heads up and excited, while Macomb was kind of down a little bit. We wanted to come out with that momentum in the second half and I thought we did that.
basketball great normally teams
We got a lot out of this tournament. We got a look at some teams we'll see down the road. We got to play some great basketball teams that we normally don't get to see that are state-ranked.
came crowd game mission
We were focused. We came out with a mission that we wanted to take their crowd out of the game - make them a non-factor.
came game girls great matter nerves overcame
We were flat. I think nerves had a lot to do with it. This was a big game for us. ... No matter how many times these girls have been here before, it's nerve-wracking. We came out a little hesitant, a little shaky. But I thought we overcame that and did a great job.
ball basketball club credit good north ready
We weren't ready to play at the start. I've got to give a lot of credit to North Fulton. They're an outstanding ball club and they're well-coached. They're a good basketball team.
came four minutes played ready second sooner
I thought we hunkered down and came out and played a lot better in the second half. We've just got to come out ready to play sooner than four minutes into the first quarter. That's just killing us right now.
girls great held sloppy
It got pretty sloppy there at the end, but I thought our girls held on and did a great job.
confidence helps knowing nerves saying step
When we can step on the court, knowing that we've been here before, it's huge. The nerves are always going to be there, but you have that confidence of saying 'hey, we've been here before, we can do it again,' it helps out tremendously.
enjoying matter
We're focused, but yet we're still enjoying the moment. No matter how many times you've been there, it's still something special.
normally pleased slow though
I wasn't really pleased with our press, even though it did slow them down a little bit. We didn't get the turnovers like we normally do off of it.
covered free girls hit outside punch stepped whether
Our girls stepped up and hit the big shots. When (Macomb) covered up on the outside, we went to the inside. We just had that 1-2 knockout punch whether it was from the outside or the inside. Then if we drove, we stepped it up and hit free throws.
came fun girls miss
We came out a little timid, a little tentative. But (against Flanagan) we came out and told (the girls) to relax, have fun and put up your shots. If you miss 12 in a row, put up another one.
