intensity playing stepped type
We stepped up the intensity and started playing our type of game.
body powerful quicker sarah type
Sarah is a strong, powerful body type while Brittany is a taller, quicker player.
defense difference game needed plan pressure queen seen type
Our game plan was to put a lot of pressure on them. We needed to show them the type of defense that Queen Anne's hadn't seen all year. I think that was the difference right there.
energy rough wondered
I wondered if we had enough energy left. That part was just on desire. It has been a rough road.
focused girls nerves playing similar somewhat talent teams terms whether
I think our teams are somewhat similar in terms of talent and playing style, but they are much more experienced. I think it's going to come down to whether I can keep my girls focused and composed. We have to keep the nerves out.
bench four girls happy playing range stretch
We have four girls that are all in the same range point-wise. I'm very happy with that kind of contribution. Then, my bench has been playing really well down the stretch here.
ball guard hit offense open point runs
The point guard is very solid. She handles the ball strong, runs the offense well and can hit the open shot.
basket easy final minute plenty shots win
We had plenty of opportunities to win that game. We could not make a basket in that final minute and we had some easy shots - they just wouldn't fall.
early nerves playing
We were playing so tentative early on. I don't know if it was nerves or what.
finding good hurt inside kick low plan proud shot surprised trouble wait
I was surprised that we could hurt them that much inside. We didn't think we would get many inside looks, so I was proud of Sarah's performance. I wanted them to go down low and then kick it back outside. The plan was to wait for the good shot but we had trouble finding it.
community country dedicated former high mean school southern sports
We are a small, country school and I say that in a complimentary way. Sports at Southern High mean a lot to the community and I have such dedicated former players.
final players playing ready three
We're just too inconsistent right now. We're not ready for the playoffs. We're not playing like we should be in the playoffs. Our players need to do a little self-analyzing before our final three games.
double four next night players
That's been our story all season. We have four players averaging in double figures. One night it's one girl, the next night it's another.
emphasize enjoy girls light screaming side
I really enjoy doing an all-star game. I like the girls to see me in some other light than screaming at them from the other side of the bench. I just wanted to emphasize for them to go out and have fun.
