hitting putting scores size top
Argonaut is the top team. The scores they've been putting up and their size is the big thing. They're also really hitting the boards.
although ball defense early hit taking took zone
Early on, our defense wasn't really good. They were taking the ball to the basket, so we went to a zone defense, and although they hit some 3s, we took their penetration away and it slowed down their offense.
free good shoot
(Linden) didn't shoot particularly well and we made our free throws. Twenty-two for 32 is pretty good for us.
good last playoff seniors
We at least clinched a playoff spot. It's good for the seniors who didn't get to go last year.
win
We gutted it out at the end. We'll take any win we can get.
free problem throws year
Free throws have been a problem all year for us.

It would have been a nice win, and we should have had it. Just a couple of things here and there ...

They're starting to play the way we hoped they'd play all year. They're playing with confidence and getting things done.

There was only one second left, but you never know what can happen in a high school game.

A couple of mistakes here and there were the difference.

Defensively our intensity level picked up. They went through a spell of about 25 possessions from midway through the second to about mid-third quarter where they only scored six points.
ball steals turned
They had a lot of steals and we turned the ball over a lot.
playing
We're playing better. We just have to keep getting better each week.
