At that point, everybody was focused. We climbed a hill and got back into the game. We cut it down to one quarter of basketball. |
Basically, we were trying to keep (Bonner's Jeff) Hills from getting the ball at that point. |
Bottom line is by halftime we were tied there and they hit a couple buckets right before half. They jumped on us in a hurry and that's the biggest concern with them. They come out and you look at what they do to teams, they have gigantic first quarters and have them in such a hole that they don't ever recover. But we did a good job of regrouping and responding. I knew if we'd get close there at the half we had a shot to stay with it. You can't give up (that many) points in the first half. That's not the kind of score we wanted. |
Coaching-wise, it's good to see it happen. I thought we were executing. So if we kept the intensity up, and kept getting the ball down the floor, things were going to happen. |
Cody came out and made some outstanding plays and hit some huge shots for us. I think it fed from him. In the second half, we found (David). It was a good match-up for us. |
David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line. |
Even with improvements in the penalty calculation formula ... there's still a lot of subjectivity that can work against industry in certain types of penalties. |
I don't think we were working very hard on defense. Offensively, we just looked out of 'sync. They're pretty successful one-on-one and they'll break you down off the dribble. That's not us and that's what we tried for a quarter and a half. Then we had to dig ourselves out of a hole. |
I feel my fingerprints will be in place on the city of Snellville for many years to come. |
I saw a lot of two-lane roads become four-lane roads. Back when I first started all the development on (Ga. Highway) 124 had not occurred. |
I think in the fourth quarter we got worn down. I'm pleased with the effort. We hit a few open shots that opened up our offensive a little more. |
I think the first quarter and the last minute of the second half decided the basketball game. Then we give up a 10-point lead. If we would've went into the locker room up 12 instead of six, I think that changes the whole complexion of the basketball game. |
I thought in the first quarter, we came out and just didn't play well. We started doing things that we don't normally do. |
In the first half, we just didn't play hard enough. That's the bottom line. We've managed to regroup a few times in the locker room (all season). |
It is not a quick fix. |
