The bottom line is Stow took it to us tonight. It showed us how far we need to go to get to where we want to be. |
The bottom line is they outworked us (last time) and we have to step up to the challenge. |
They have been very accepting of me and my family, and it has evolved into a close-knit team and coaching staff. I really think that it has helped us throughout the tournament. |
They just lost her in transition. She had her feet set and had a quick release. |
They pretty much run a seven-man rotation and keep their three All-District players on the floor. If we let two or three (players) have big nights, it's going to be tough. |
They're a lot bigger than we are and have some nice big kids to pound the ball inside to. |
This is definitely the most physical team we have seen in taking the ball to the basket. I was real proud of the way the girls stepped in. |
Uhl has been constant all season. She made a conscious decision during the summer to be a leader on the team. She's been a force down low. |
We accomplished everything we wanted to and got a little bit of confidence. Everything turned out as well as I could've wanted. |
We are a much better team than the first time (we played Stow). I hope that will show through. |
We hoped that our depth would wear them down. The way we were able to sub allowed us to have more gas at the end. Our tempo and our style are conducive to runs like that. |
We noticed in the first game that when she caught the ball, she didn't finish strong. So we used it not only as a teaching tool, but to motivate her. Tonight she played like a D-I player. |
We played one of our worst basketball games that night. After getting out to a 10-point lead, we lost sight of our goals and objectives. |
We stopped running and played at a slower tempo, which allowed them to sag in and double team. |
We talked (Friday) in practice about playing our style and keeping the tempo. |
