advance allow aspects basketball boxing commitment defense five glory goes hard instead lost owning playing shirts state tough upset white winning
The thing that really upset me is that Sheehan outworked us, especially on the boards. There are more aspects to basketball than scoring. Especially in the state tournament, the things that allow you to advance are playing tough defense and owning the backboards. I didn't see enough white shirts (Fitch) boxing Sheehan out. All the glory goes to the offense, but we have to make a commitment to rebounding and defense. It's hard work. That's why we lost by five instead of winning by 10.
athletics baseball basketball gets great job knows matt player share steals
Matt hustles a lot and is just a great athlete. He doesn't have outstanding basketball skills, but he's a great baseball player and a winner. He knows how to get the job done and gets his share of steals and rebounds.
bernard forward looking seen trying win
I haven't seen St. Bernard at all. We are looking forward to trying to win the ECC tournament.
ball coming gas good happy held instead playing points primarily quick ran short six team trying turned until
NFA is a very quick team. Instead of trying to make short passes, we did too much dribbling and turned the ball over. I was very happy with our defense, though. We held a good NFA team to 40 points until we ran out of gas late. We're primarily playing six guys, and Browning is just coming back off the flu.
almost bernard enjoying kids might nice overlook overlooked point turnaround
At 14-7, we've had a nice turnaround from 4-5. The kids are enjoying the ride. At this point we can't overlook anybody. We might have overlooked St. Bernard and almost got bitten.
games good limited nice second shot win year
It was a good year to win 14 games with this group, which was limited offensively. It would have been nice to get one more win and give it a shot in the second round, though.
