became bigger call depended games lead listen peers players talk team
Before big games, I'd call him to talk about the other team. He had to lead the team and sometimes, players listen to their peers a lot more then their coaches. He became our glue. The bigger the game, the more we depended on Perry.
coming emphasis knew team today
Coming in we knew they were a little down. So our emphasis today was for us to get better as a team because it's postseason play.
beaten conference goal lead played since tied wins
We didn't play revenge. We played to get a lead in the conference championship race. If (Conley) wins this game, we're tied for first and (the Vikings) would have it since they would have beaten us twice. Our goal is to win the conference championship more so than revenge.
