ball came pleased shared
We shared the ball really well. I'm pleased that we came down here so focused.
beat changed felt kids night opened played took
Our kids changed after that win. To beat that team, especially with the way we played the night before which we felt was pretty bad, it opened our eyes. We really took off from there.
achieve desire matter perform
It didn't matter that she was undersized. Her desire to perform and achieve were big.
adjusting behind change good half job kids normally plan second time tougher tried
Our kids did a good job of adjusting (defensively) when we had to go to Plan B. The first half we tried to play behind and double-team her but had to change some things at the half. We went back to what we normally do and that's pressuring the ball. She had a tougher time in the second half scoring. In the first half it was so easy.
excited game proud time understand
That (start) is what excited me about ?em and made me proud of ?em. They approached the game the right way and they understand what?s going on this time of year.
kids mental quarter third toughness
Our kids didn't blink. We didn't play so well in the third quarter but it didn't faze our kids. That mental toughness was awesome.
board early hot plays points second tuesday
Early on Blaire was great. We got some points on the board and Tuesday got hot in the second half. We made enough plays and got enough stops.
breaks free handle ourselves self shot
We self-destructed in so many phases. The free throws, the turnovers. We couldn't handle the ball. Just things like that. We didn't get any breaks (from the officials) but we shot ourselves in the foot, too.
expect game possession
When you have Southside on your jersey, you expect to win. It's a game that we look at as a one or two possession game.
days good thursday
We feel like we had two good days (of practice) Thursday and Friday.
took
We took them out of some things they wanted to do.
bothered good guards pressure shots
We made some big shots when we had to have ?em. Their guards are really good and they put pressure on us and bothered us all night.
balanced both coach extremely good hard playing point position relationships shows teammates trust worked
The position that she plays, I feel, is about relationships. Relationships with your coach and with your teammates and I think she's worked extremely hard in both of those areas. There is a lot of trust between us and with her and her teammates. And if everybody's playing well and we're as balanced as we are (offensively), that shows we have a good point guard.
