easy kept playing
Yes, but at least it came. That was important. We kept playing when it would have been easy to quit.
finishing quick rushing turn
I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.
girls happened history last locker nobody repeat room
I know we had a lot of girls in that locker room who didn't want history to repeat itself. Nobody said a lot about it but I know they didn't want to see a repeat of what happened last year.
fun girls great
I'm having fun with it. I'm not going to lie. I like having my own team. And the girls are doing a great job.
expected game lie lies-and-lying next nobody proud state teams tonight year
They wanted it. I'm not going to lie to you. But we want to come back here next year and do this again. Nobody expected us to be here. It's like I told the girls. Only two teams in the state got to play in this game tonight and we were one of them. That's something to be proud of.
came free
It just came down to who made the most free throws.
figure half took
It took us about a half before we could figure them out. But once we got a feel for them, we were OK.
girls giving
The girls are responding. They are giving it their all.
game reminded
We got comfortable with the lead. We kind of let back a little bit. I reminded (the girls) not to let down. We still have a game to finish. We can't get comfortable.
aggressive ball easy fast pressured run
We run an aggressive track. We pressured the ball very well. It made for some easy fast breaks.
ball five four hole possession shots
We just couldn't put the ball in the hole in that quarter. We'd have four or five shots on one possession and still couldn't score.
defense emphasize momentum quarter steals win
She had two steals in that quarter for us, and I think that got us the momentum back. We emphasize defense in practice. Those are the things you need to win games.
