And our kids' confidence has just grown and grown. |
Even though it may have looked like we were in a stall (offense) we were not, the last three minutes of the first half. We put ourselves into an offense and our kids just executed the offense and couldn't get a good look, so we didn't take a shot. It's not exactly that we were trying to hold the ball for three minutes. |
He put a dagger right in their heart. I thought we had it in hand after that shot. |
I felt if we could get by our first game in the district, we had a decent shot of advancing. |
I knew if we kept it close, we had a shot. Our kids have a tremendous amount of heart. We don't quit. |
My kids have been unbelievable with the heart they've shown. And that's why we've gotten this far. |
Sometimes my teams get a bad rap of hanging onto the ball too much. We're trying to score. It's just the way we play. |
We had a great run. We had to be on our game to be able to win. We weren't quite there. |
We had some jitters in the first half. But once we settled down we started playing our basketball. |
We knew if we kept it close we'd have a shot, and that's exactly what happened. |
We knew if we kept it close, we would have a shot. We don't quit. We've been behind in close games before. |
We know if a team gets 60 on us it's not going to be good. So the tempo was good for us with it in the 50s, and the guys never quit. |
We were one and done (in the district) last year, and we wouldn't let these guys forget. We felt like once we got by the first game we had a shot to advance. Then things just began to fall into place. |
