I always liked to have one guard and two posts (on offense). That was just our style. |
I do have some concerns. I just want us to go and play like we have been playing. With this being our first time in the AA tournament, we hope that gives us a little advantage. |
I think the rest helped her. She came back strong. |
I'm sure that was a wonderful game to watch, but it was a nightmare to coach. That was a truly awesome girls basketball game. Both teams played outstanding. |
It never felt quite right to be in a gym and not be coaching. When 1 or 2 p.m came around, I always felt myself being pulled toward the gym. |
It was a terrific game - one that was completely different than the 5-on-5 stuff. It was hard to hide somebody when there was only three people on each side of the court. Lots of one-on-one basketball and some pick-and-rolls - that's about it. |
It was a very determined group that wanted to go all the way (to a championship) and they almost got it done. It was a great team - it surely was. I think the one thing I'll always remember is what a terrific defensive team they were. |
It's hard to call the games off when it's lightly snowing. It's not freezing on the streets yet. |
Last year there were a lot of good teams in West Tennessee. This is just a really good area for high school basketball. |
Our team surprised me a great deal this season, and of course, I love when that happens. It was great to see all those girls develop into really good basketball players. |
Out of the gate, we just weren't playing very well. But once we outscored them in the second quarter, I felt pretty good about our chances as long as we played the defense I knew we could. |
She can play inside and outside. She stepped up big tonight. That's what we want our seniors to do. |
That swing at the end of the first half was an example of something happening that we're not accustomed to. We're usually pretty good in that situation ... but not that time. |
That was a huge shot. That gave us some breathing room. We relaxed a little bit. |
They're athletic and very quick. They're the state runner-up last year, so they've been here before. |
