chance cut fourth nice played quarter quit seniors
We made a nice little run. We had a chance to cut it to nine, but we just couldn't get any closer. I played all my seniors in the fourth quarter and they played hard...they could have quit being down 20 points, but they didn't.
bring lose number players strong team
They are number one for a reason. We didn't play to our capabilities, but a lot of that was because of their athleticism, speed, and defense. They are a very strong team and they don't lose anything when they bring players off the bench.
against cost lapse mental mistakes period quality team third win
That lapse at the end of the third period cost us the game. You can't have lapses against a quality team on the road; you can't make mental mistakes and win this kind of game.
against came huge lift needed played
He came up huge for us against Hamden. We really needed a lift and he played very well.
against ball great job moved throughout
We executed very well offensively against one of the better man-to-man defenses in the state. We moved the ball and did a great job throughout the game, but especially in the first half.
against both east great half played struggled tone
Our first half performances set the tone in both games. We played a great first half against Hamden, but we struggled against East Haven.
bad ball division good hurt job last match problems won
We got off to a bad start. We had some match up problems that really hurt us. I thought we would do a better job getting the ball inside, but we struggled. They are very experienced and won their division last year...they are a very good team.
