ball job nice second
I thought we did a nice job of pressuring the ball in the second half.
defensive second third
The one thing we didn't do well was get defensive rebounds. They just had too many second and third shots.
half job keeping second third
We did a much better job in the second half. In the first half, they (Reno) got too many second and third shots. We did a much better job in the second half keeping them to one shot.
goes greatest plays team
When it comes to crunch-time, this team just goes out and plays its game. That's the greatest thing about them.
backing drive easy giving shots thinking
We were giving them easy shots because we were backing off a step, thinking they were going to drive to the basket.
felt
I felt like there was a lid on the basket.
easy gave last lay played time ups victory
I didn't want to give them any easy lay ups. We gave them too many easy lay ups the last time we played them (in a 62-58 Galena victory in December).
hands
We weren't getting our hands up in their face.
fighting fights-and-fighting girls kept
My girls really wanted it. That's why they kept fighting and fighting.
free knock knows quick
She's real quick and she knows how to knock down her free throws.
coached girls since sixth transition
I've coached a lot of these girls since they were in sixth grade. So they know me. I know them. The transition was real easy.
against came forced game hard inside offense
Offense was the hard part against them. They are just so big. They wouldn't give us the 3-point shot, and that forced us to go inside where they have so much size. It came down to an inside game and we struggled.
kindness year
That's kind of how we've been all year at the line. We've been in and out all year.
ahead learn year
This probably did come a year ahead of schedule. We're young. We're going to learn from this and get better.
