adversity kids life proud rise strikes tonight
Sometimes when adversity strikes in your life or in your sport, you have to rise to the occasion. I thought our kids did that tonight and I'm very proud of them for that.
beat chance fight game kids last lead loss ourselves played poor possession redeem tonight took tough
The last game we didn't have Meier and we played a poor first half. We had to fight back and took a two-point lead and got beat on a last-second possession and that was a tough loss for us. Tonight we had a chance to redeem ourselves and the kids did.
ball biggest floor kid point pressure top
I think there can be some differences (among the top point guards). But the biggest thing is the kid being able to take the ball under pressure and take it up the floor and get you into the offense.
chemistry good team
The one thing about this team right now is I think our chemistry is getting pretty decent. They want to play for each other. They get along. And that's good to see.
came defense game intense keys pressure rolling transition
Keys to the game were our pressure defense and our transition offense. We came out really intense and got the game rolling right off the bat.
good main played team time tuesday west
I think we're a better team now than the first time we played West and that's the main thing. West has a good outfit. We're going to be there on Tuesday and we're going to do what we can do.
basketball breakout glad good shooter
I was really glad to see him have a breakout game. He's a good shooter and a good basketball player.
caught composure fighting good knew matter maybe playing situation team trying veteran
That team has a lot of shooters, has good size. It's a veteran team. We knew they were going to make a run. It was just a matter of could we withstand it and keep playing and fighting through it. There for a while we started getting in that turnover situation again. We were maybe trying a little too hard. I thought we caught our composure out there and got some leadership.
adversity far games handled kids pleased wins worked year
We have a lot of kids back. What they accomplished this year with 14 wins was far, far better than I had ever dreamed. I thought they worked through some adversity. Most games we went into I thought we were the underdog, and I was very pleased with how they handled themselves.
basketball kids program reflects trying win
When you get 400 wins, it reflects the kids you've had in the past, it reflects the parents, it reflects the program itself, the coaches. We're just trying to win a basketball game. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
ball extremely nights shot
We had one of those nights where we shot the ball extremely well.
apart beat execute execution fell needed threw trap
We just fell apart on execution. They threw a little trap on us and we did not execute. We got beat by a better team. That's all there is to it. We didn't execute the way we needed to execute, and they were better.
confidence contained happens missing start thinking
We thought we contained them fairly. They started missing some shots, and when that happens you start thinking about it more. It could have been a confidence thing.
arena belt eight games stuff
We've got eight games under our belt now. That stuff is done with. They've been in the arena long enough now that we shouldn't have those mistakes.
