He always gives us a lift. |
In our last two games we had double-digit leads and lost because we quit playing defense. That was pretty much what we worked on in practice all week, and we had a lot better defensive effort (Friday). |
It's better to be sitting here talking about playing poorly and winning than going home with a loss. |
That's got to be creeping into (our players') minds a little bit. But they still found a way to win. |
We played really well in the first half. We played hard on defense and moved the ball. When we do that we're a good team. In the second half, we didn't' play hard and didn't move the ball well at all. |
When it came down to crunch time, their kids made the plays and ours didn't. |
