coach coming good job knew
Coach Abell does a good job of making you play his pace. We knew coming in they'd try to make it half-court game.
defensive easy excellent fourth good played players post
I thought our post players played excellent in the fourth quarter. I thought Nathan (Carlton) and Trent (Garner) started getting some high-low looks, and we got some easy baskets. We just didn't play very good on the defensive end.
passing recovered sure year
They recovered well, they were long in the passing lanes, and I'm sure that's the most turnovers we've had all year in a game.
defensive gave offensive rebounds second
Offensive rebounds just killed us in the second half. We gave up way too many rebounds on the defensive end.
defensive free game home miss played shoot surprising throws time
It's surprising at home that you would miss free throws the way we did, but it's part of the game. We played a better defensive game this time around than we did the first time at Winchester. We just didn't shoot as well.
beat
He beat us at the end of the press.
needed shot stepped
You can't say enough about Derek Harris. When we needed a big bucket, he stepped up and made a shot for us.
break contested extra pass patient second shooting shot
In the first quarter, we made the extra pass. We break them down on the dribble, make the extra pass and get the wide-open shot. In the second quarter, we got a little flustered and weren't patient at all. We started shooting when we were contested and it was one shot and out.
alex care senior smith taking
You see our senior guards, such as Derek Harris, Byers and Alex Smith taking care of the ball. I was told we had just two turnovers in the first half.
game marked surprise
We'd marked this game on the calendar, Calhoun didn't surprise us with their talent.
extremely plays
When you come here to Winchester (West Central) plays extremely well.
