I just try to block out the free-throw line. |
I told the girls there's 24 other teams that would trade places with them. We're one of the top four (1A) teams in the state. That's something to be proud of. |
It wasn't easy, but we gave the paying customers what they wanted. |
It's not an easy loss to take. We haven't lost since Jan. 13, so we are not used to losing. |
Pyramid Lake was out there having fun and passing the ball around. They were executing. We weren't having fun. |
She came in and played completely unconscious. She always knows where she's at on the offensive end and tonight she did the same on defense. |
The kids are excited to be out there. We've got some pretty good all-around athletes. |
They came out comfortable, playing like it was their home court. |
They defended us well. We got frustrated and couldn't see anyone open. With double teams, there has to be someone open and we couldn't find them. We also didn't help on the double teams. |
They know what it takes to get there. It's not often you get 11 people together who like playing together. |
They were smothering Rachelle all night, but they were giving Kristen open looks. We just took what they gave us. |
We have to control the tempo of the game and take care of the ball. |
We just can't quit playing defense thinking we'll get it next time. There may not be a next time. |
We were just discussing in the locker room that now is not the time in the season to be giving up points. That was back in December and January. We talked about playing with confidence. I reminded them that they were the defending region champs. |
We've got a good group of kids that work well together. |
