gave good job running
I thought she gave them a big boost. She did a good job of running their team.
anytime composure front girls goal good happy hold holding hostile job points prettiest road win
Our goal was to hold them to under 40 points for the game, so we're happy we were able to do that. It wasn't our prettiest game, but anytime you can get a win on the road in front of a hostile crowd, it's a good victory. The girls did a good job of holding their composure in here tonight.
challenge handle last played tough year
We played them last year and had a tough time. It will be a challenge for our kids. We'll see how they come out and handle it.
hoped north score stay win won
That we won with our defense, that's no surprise. North has better shooters than we do. We just hoped we could score enough to stay in the game, then win it with defense.
good knew potential shoot shot understand
We knew she had the potential. We had to get her to understand what a good shot is in our system. Every shot is a good shot to her. She'll shoot every time.
ball came misses turned
We came out really aggressive. We were able to get any misses they had and get the ball turned around in transition.
choice zone
With the lineup we had out there, we really didn't feel like we had a choice. Brittany (Powell) and Erica aren't our two quickest players, so we had to play a zone just to keep (Ledford) contained.
effort fault finishing kids seemed
I can't fault my kids for their effort and their heart. It seemed like we were one little play from finishing it off and we couldn't do it.
challenge playing
We challenge her every night. We get on her a lot about playing big, playing your size.
adjusted blown danger personnel sinking stop
We were in real danger of being blown out right at the beginning. We couldn't get anything going on offense, and we couldn't stop them. We were struggling, sinking quick. But we adjusted personnel and our defense.
easy missed surprised
We missed a lot of easy shots, but we've been doing that all year. It wasn't like that surprised me.
common force guards kids played pressure younger
She's a common force for us. The younger kids were so nervous. There was so much pressure because all of our guards are our young kids. They've never played in a do-or-die situation.
ball carrying chance create defense definitely finding hold offense teams ways
Defense is definitely carrying us. At times we just can't put the ball in the ocean. We keep finding ways with our defense to hold teams down enough to give our offense a chance to create or get something to go in.
easy time worry
That's not an easy time to be playing. But we'll worry about it if we get there. We just want to be there.
