(Branson) just guards very well and we couldn't make shots. |
Give credit to Branson. We tried to run motion, to set screens, to penetrate, but they guarded very well. You knew the team that made the fewest mistakes would win. |
I don't think there is anybody who can guard her one-on-one. Teams have to collapse on her when she gets the ball in her hands. |
I knew we would eventually settle down because we were a bit tight in the beginning, but Stephen got some good shots and took them. |
I think they thought Price was their biggest obstacle and they came out flat because we were here. They thought they had an edge on us. |
She won't see all the double and triple teams she sees at this level. It will be easier at the college level than in high school. I cannot see her not having big success no matter where she goes. |
She's still not 100 percent from the ankle injury. She's toughed it out and goes through a ritual with taping it every day to make sure she's ready to go. |
There's no shame in losing to a great team like that. |
We played with heart and smarts early and with guts down the stretch. Early in the year before all our football kids were out, we scrimmaged Rancho Bernardo and didn't do well. Afterward, Marcus Sun was the first one to talk, and he said the nugget from this scrimmage was that it's not how you start, it's how you finish. |
We've been waiting and waiting. We were so eager to get an opportunity to participate. We're one of kind. |
