bad mistakes
We made a lot of mistakes and they didn't. We made bad throws. We made base-running mistakes. When you give them runs, they get more.
became coached friend lose passed sad suffering taught time
She started out as my coach, became my friend and then we coached together. What I take away from her the most was she taught us all how to persevere. She could have passed away a long time ago, but she battled. It is sad to lose a friend and someone who was a mentor, but she's in a better place and not suffering anymore.
longer season teams tough tried
I tried to tell them they accomplished a lot. Their season went on longer than a lot of other teams. And they made it through some tough times that a lot of other teams didn't have to face.
adversity beginning starting team
Starting off at the beginning of the season, that was one of our goals. With or without the adversity, that was always the team goal.
consistency focus regular routine season sharp staying stuff trying work
As the regular season ends, we're just trying to work on the routine stuff and focus on consistency. And staying sharp on defense.
though
If you are able to get though this tournament, you know you've done well.
forward good looked played questions sad sure teams whether
There were questions about whether we would postpone the game, but she would not have wanted that. She looked forward to this game. She wanted to make sure we played as many good teams as we could. For us not to play because we were sad would have been completely unacceptable to Sallie.
