chance christmas class coming five kids react six strange teams
There are probably five or six teams that have a chance in Class A. But you just never know how kids will react coming out of the Christmas break. Strange things can happen.
beat best couple good job kid kids people player point seven shoot six solid
The best player is the point guard. He can shoot the 3 and can beat people off the dribble. Inside, the big kid does a very good job around the basket. And, they have a couple of other kids that look like pretty good athletes. They aren't real deep, but those six or seven kids are solid players.
came decent five point six though
Even though we never came up with one of those big runs. I thought we made enough of those five and six point spurts to keep a decent cushion.
depth factor game guarded half second worn
I thought in the second half, we guarded better than we did in the first half and didn't have as many turnovers. It may have worn them down a little bit. I think our depth probably was a factor in the game also.
found slow ways
That always has to be a concern, but we haven't had that answer. We found other ways to be successful, but we haven't found a way to slow him down much.
balanced careful playing
When you are playing zone, you have to be careful about 3-point shooting. You want to have balanced inside-outside scoring.
bit defensive hard kept preaching quarter settled
We kept preaching how hard you have to play. We were a bit overanxious there in the first quarter and made some defensive mistakes, but once we settled into a rhythm, things started to go our way.
change defensive momentum needed
We needed to play catch-up, but we could never get that defensive spurt to change the momentum.
came quarter third
We came out in the third quarter and went to work.
goal help rest season
We battled, and we're having fun. That's my goal the rest of this season is to help (the players) get better, and help them have some fun.
bit crawl found games hung kids proud teams
We're going to have to toughen up a bit and not let teams crawl back into games like this. (But) I'm proud of the kids and the way they hung in there and found a way to win.
bench came gave hayden nice
Hayden came off the bench and really gave us a nice lift.
boost guy played practice
I actually thought he played pretty well for a guy who had one practice under his belt. I think that has to be a boost for our team.
basketball good guard pass physical shoot stature together won
When you look at what we trot out there and you look at our physical stature you'd think, well, I don't know. But we do play awfully well together and we've got some basketball skills; we can pass it, we can shoot it and we try to guard you. When you've won 21 ballgames in January, you've got to be a pretty good team.
