I stood up there and thought about all the great players who've shot free throws in this building. I guess that helped. |
I'm not going to lie, I'm slightly rusty. Every other year I've been able to come out of our sectional with about a month between basketball and tennis and go to the Sports Center and hit with my family or a friend. Now, we've only had a week in between. It's definitely frustrating because I'm not where I want to be with my tennis game. |
In the first half, I only took one shot. In the second half, I found myself open a lot and just decided to shoot it. |
Rachel and her, they're real quick, and Grace is long. It's tough to get around her -- I know from experience. They have the tough assignment every game, to stop their best player. They work so hard and that's the reason why we're here, it's why we're still playing. |
She accepted it wholeheartedly. Any of the top six could be interchangeable in the starting lineup. Coach asked her if she would take that role to be a scorer coming off the bench and she didn't have any problem with it. |
She is like my sister. I hope she gets back as soon as possible. I'm real worried about her, and I'm praying for her. |
She's never been afraid to shoot. She just fires it up there and luckily, most of the time, it goes in. If she'll miss a couple of shots, she's so used to shooting that that's not going to get her down. If she misses five, the sixth one's going up. No hesitation whatsoever. |
We just tried to stay focused and concentrate on making our free throws. It really boosts your confidence when you see others hit them. |
When you hit the first one you're like, OK, you're feeling good. The second one, you're rolling. Third one, there's no hesitation whatsoever when you put it up. It definitely helps a lot to hit that first shot. |
