(Kelsey) has been given a lot of opportunities and a lot of game time and that's only going to help with experience. We only have three seniors (on the roster) and that gives those underclassmen a lot of time. My seniors, when they were sophomores, that wasn't the case. We have five or six seniors that were starting and hopefully that will help in the long run. |
(The officials) never had it under control. It was very disappointing and very frustrating. It was completely out of hand. I've never been in a game like this. |
Altoona was certainly the better team tonight but I'm not going to take away from kids' fight. I have to be proud of their efforts. |
Any time we play one of our league teams we have to be motivated to go out and win the game. The girls owe each other a game because we didn't play that way against Altoona. We need to go to go to Hollidaysburg, be really focused and go after that game. |
Every game's important and that's the way we've got to look at it. But I would rather have them before the seeding meeting. |
I didn't think my girls reacted very well and they weren't motivated to play the second half. We always have a three- or four-minute spurt in a game where we just zone out so we really need to work on that. |
It helps to have some good games under your belt to feel that way. She's had some great games shooting-wise and that's going to give her a boost with confidence for the next game. |
It was the good, the bad and the ugly. It's nice to win a game like that. |
Our district tries to give us games later, down the road, because all the other districts are still playing. We only have the four teams so I think that's why they schedule those games a little later. |
She wants to do what she has to do. I'm not afraid to throw her the ball if a guard's guarding her down (low) and have her a post move because she remembers some of the footwork. Mandy's pretty much played every position for me. She may not want to but she knows she has to. |
Shots started to fall for us and we had a nice run. But it was a little too early. We need that run with a minute to go like our last five wins. |
That second quarter was horrendous. It was the worst quarter I think I've ever seen us play defensively. We allowed way too many points. Twenty-three points in a quarter is sick. |
That's what we want. We don't want to play any easy teams out there on the floor. We want to play and make ourselves competitive. |
We didn't fluster. It isn't how we start it's how we finish sometimes. That's been our season: Ugly in the beginning but we hang in there and get the job done in the second half. |
We had to set some screens. We set her a nice one on the baseline. When she came off that screen and she hit that three in the corner, I thought (Broderick) was going to have a heart attack. |
