boards brought effort energy good needed solid
That's the kind of effort we needed from her. She was solid on the boards and brought some good energy off the bench.
players rotation run three
They pretty much run a seven-man rotation and keep their three All-District players on the floor. If we let two or three (players) have big nights, it's going to be tough.
aggressor backed became instead positive responding stepping
I think we backed down from them. They became the aggressor at that point, and instead of us responding in a positive way and stepping right back up with them, I think we kind of went into a shell.
intensity step
You could see their intensity step up right there.
finally happens relax stage
In the first half, offensively and defensively we were really tight. Sometimes that happens on a big stage like this. So at halftime, I just told them to relax and just go out and play -- and finally we did.
accepting coaching evolved helped team throughout
They have been very accepting of me and my family, and it has evolved into a close-knit team and coaching staff. I really think that it has helped us throughout the tournament.

After the Hoover game, we wanted to set our team goals and one of them was to play Hoover on March 10.
added consistency demanding excited makeup mental takes
It takes the right mental makeup to play the point. It's a very demanding position. She has added more consistency to her game. I'm just excited to have her for two more years.
emily game hit mentor timing
Emily has been big for us in every game during the tournament. She hit the big threes, but it was more the timing with those she hit back-to-back in the Mentor game.
exactly goals kidding march rest win
After that first game, we set our goals for the rest of the season. No kidding -- our goal was to play (North Canton) here on March 10. We had to win out. They had to win out. But here we are -- exactly where we wanted to be.
keeping playing practice style talked
We talked (Friday) in practice about playing our style and keeping the tempo.
allowed double played running slower stopped
We stopped running and played at a slower tempo, which allowed them to sag in and double team.
bit turned
We accomplished everything we wanted to and got a little bit of confidence. Everything turned out as well as I could've wanted.
great post seen
We've seen a lot of great post players, but not a tandem like that.
