allowed good percent shoot tone undoing
Our undoing was the first quarter. We allowed them to shoot 77 percent and that got them going. That didn't set a good tone for us. I know we can do better.
basketball beat close crowd fourth good great high hit home nice quality quarter school team terms time win
This was a big win in terms of the district, but it's a big win any time you beat a good quality team on their home court. We had a nice fourth quarter and we hit a lot of free-throws at the end ... and you know, this is what high school basketball is all about. The crowd was into it and it was close all the way through, and it was just a great ball game.
basis consistent drive game good half hurting obviously plan quickness rat second start starts tough
After a tough start -- these starts are hurting us on a consistent basis -- the second half was much better. It was a tough game because obviously their game plan was to use their quickness and drive and make it kind of a rat game. It was a good game plan. They had us on our heels.
death difficult five games good happened looks scare six win work
I know what they're going through. It's a difficult situation. It looks good on paper, but it doesn't always work that way. When they made the deal, I thought they were going to be more athletic. They scare me to death because they have talent. Who knows, they can win one or two games and then win five or six in a row. That's what happened to us.
choice good nobody street team
I'm going to do what I can to win, and if it's not good enough, they'll tell me, ... But there's a big difference. This year, if we do well and I can get this team to win, it's my choice what I want to do at the end of the year. It's nobody else's. This isn't just a one-way street here.
ball bat good hitting home nice pitch swinging trying
Dara has been swinging the bat real well, hitting the ball real hard. She's trying to get some good at-bats. She went with the pitch for the home run. She's doing a real nice job.
good mesh seem together
They have good chemistry; they seem to mesh really well. They play together a lot.
approach basketball excellent together
Kenton's been around. He's matured. He'll tell you his approach has changed. He's always had an excellent basketball IQ. It's just that everything else has come together for him.
ability certainly game gone haunted maybe score year
What's haunted us all year is our ability to score goals. I thought that was a game where we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three.
against atlanta earned fight kick ourselves time victories
We had some time but they smothered us. We'll look back and kick ourselves about what could have been, but you've got to give Atlanta credit. They fight hard, they play well, they earned the victories against us.
changes guess team
We'll have a day to see what we're going to do. How he mixes with everyone, I guess we'll find out. This changes our team dramatically.
level needed nice open stayed tone wide win
We didn't set the tone and we got down big. I thought we had wide open shots, and we couldn't make them. We stayed with it, but just got down too far, and they had a nice level of comfort. We didn't play as well as we needed to play to win this game.
bench consistent guys learning needed people
We didn't have a lot of people on the bench and we needed the young guys to give us consistent minutes. They're learning and they're getting better.
basketball dependable full last leaders leaders-and-leadership locker longtime players recovery relative room three
He's been one of our steady, dependable players over the last three years. He's one of the leaders in our locker room because he is a longtime veteran. Those things you're going to miss, but the important thing right now is that he makes a full recovery relative to basketball and day-to-day living.
