All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots. |
In order to win games you have to rebound and you have to play defense. Rebounding is something we've done in all our games and we did a good job today. The defense comes from the heart and we played well tonight. |
It just wasn't our day at all. You keep telling the kids to play thought it, but it's hard. They kept hustling, but we weren't making our shots. |
On the defensive end we really have to pick it up. Waverly is pretty big and we had to match up with their size. I believe Meredith did a good job of playing Rachel Sheppard despite being a couple of inches shorter. It was a good team effort defensively. |
Our defense did a very good job today. We had the game we lost to Northeast and we were just out of it. Tonight the girls knew they really had to work. |
That's going to be a confidence booster for the girls. We know they can play with anyone. Once they get the confidence to know they can win every game they play then we'll be OK. |
We missed a lot of shots. We had a lot of lay-ups that just weren't going in. We just missed a lot of easy lay-ups, a lot of shots we generally make. |
We played really good defense the whole game. In the fourth quarter they kept chipping away, we just had to buckle down. |
We've got to work on our foul shots. I told the kids we need to be about 70 percent from the line and we are still shooting 50 percent. That can hurt you in games like this. |
