Britney took over and got us back under control offensively, and she and Courtney are very experienced and mature players who are very unselfish with the ball. |
Friday is going to be a battle but we're going to show up. |
I told her as soon as she got on the court that we were going to overwhelm her. She shows leadership on the court with how she plays. She wants everyone to be as committed as she is. She had veteran leadership to show her the ropes (last year). They passed on a lot and hopefully she'll pass that on. |
It was our defensive intensity. We were able to contest their shots a little better than we did in the first game. We really concentrated on getting out to the shooters. I thought our defensive intensity was probably key. That was a good performance. We're going to try and build on that. |
It was our poorest game, but you've got to give some of the credit to Novato as well. They seemed to have more energy than we did tonight. It's a credit to them. |
It was their size. It definitely wasn't from a lack of aggression on our side. We really try to emphasize and concentrate on the defensive boards. Tonight we just didn't secure enough of them. |
It's a good opportunity. It's good to have change. We're trying to complete next year's schedule. It's what I'm doing right now. We're trying to upgrade the schedule a little bit. |
It's not just great for Vicky. It's great for Justin-Siena and even (the city of) Napa. For everyone involved. |
She's a special player. She's not one-dimensional. She looks for her teammates. Sometimes it's hard to take all those shots but she has the green light. She's very unselfish. |
So far the response has been pretty good. We've already got nine teams who have committed to coming to the tournament. |
The girls played hard right to the end. |
They came out with tremendous emotion because they were missing one of their top players, and they shot the ball extremely well early. They're the best Division V team in Northern California. |
We did exactly what we wanted in the first half, but they hit their first three shots of the second half, and that seemed to give them confidence. |
We expected the game to be physical. More intensity. Redwood wanted to take it from us. They did for a three-minute spurt but we recovered. I'll give Redwood credit, they played hard. |
We played hard tonight. They were just bigger and faster. Our kids gave it all they had. Piedmont was just too much to handle. |
