After a game like that, to think we were one rebound away and we couldn't get it. I told the kids it comes down to free throws and rebounding. |
It's exciting. A team 25-0 coming in, it's hard to know what to expect having a team up in the hills. We didn't know who they'd played against. We couldn't see tape. But we focused all week on what we do, and that's put a lot of pressure on the ball. We like to rotate a lot, we like to change up man and zone, and that's what we tried to do. |
We don't have any of the tradition a team like Moffat County has. I have girls from all over Denver on my team, where the Moffat team is probably made up of girls from the same town. |
We don't have any superstars but we have a lot of great players. We've played the best of the best in Colorado this year by playing in the 5A Continental League. We don't know anything about Moffat and what they've faced. |
We've had a run where we've played a lot of ranked teams, but we haven't run into a team as physical as Highlands Ranch. We're happy we won the league, but you don't really want to go into the postseason with a loss. But maybe it will help because the girls won't want to feel that same hurt for the next six or seven games. |
