absolutely beginning critical difference far learned loss season shows understand win
This win absolutely shows how far we've come. We learned a lot from that loss (against Shaker). In the beginning of the season we didn't understand what to do in critical situations. The difference is that we do now.

They told everyone to be excited . . . now do it again . . . now do it again. By take 45, nothing will ever excite you again.

They ran the floor really well, they've obviously got some really good players that are athletic and smart.
games last league outcome three
This league has so much parity, that the outcome of most games usually comes down to the last two or three possessions.
brown tough
It just didn't ever feel like we were able to make it competitive. But without Brown and his 14 points, it was tough out there for us.
convince hard kids
It was pretty hard to convince the kids that we had a chance.
backed foul good kids transition
They're a good transition team. Our kids backed off because I don't think they wanted to foul and (Latimer) made a good play.
came emotional expect night picked senior team
You can't get down 22-8 to a team like Highland and expect to be competitive. We just came out too emotional on Senior Night and (Highland) just picked us apart.
job open passes played pleased second sharing
I was pleased with the way we played offensively, especially in the second half. We did a better job of sharing the ball. We made passes to the open man.
