focused game kids played player won
The kids really played well. They were focused from the start. We couldn't have won the game without any one player out there.
blocking gave kids offensive played rebounds sickness throughout
I was really disappointed in our blocking out in the first half. We gave up 14 offensive rebounds in the first half. I thought our kids played a lot better in the second. We really battled through the kids' sickness throughout the game.

There's no excuse for it. It's our home gym. We practice here every day, so there's no excuse for it.

I think our seniors will provide some good leadership. And we've got some great young kids who are excited about making a tradition about attending state tournaments.

calm created gap girls great hard matter nerves pressure relentless state teaching team tight tried
We struggled. The nerves were there no matter how hard we tried to calm the girls down. We were tight and had a lot of turnovers that created a lot of opportunities for them. Then as the gap widened, we got tighter and tighter. Bozeman is a great team and their pressure is relentless n that's why they are state champs.

We've been working on getting balanced scoring. We've been preaching it.

We adjusted the man-to-man defense. We got a little more aggressive and were playing the passing lanes a little more. We were trying to take away the slice down the lane.

We've talked about if you dream big, big dreams will happen and that's what is basically happening right now. The kids never gave up and kept believing.
