First practice of the season I put the score up in our locker room. It's been up there all season and that's been our goal. We took one game at a time and they jelled at the right time. It was sweet. |
I knew that if we kept the lead, then we had a good chance to bring it home. We had a little trouble getting into the flow of the offense so I thought I should call a time out and get them back on track. They knew how important this game was and how much it meant to them. |
I told the girls this is the first team that has played as a true team since I've been at Pallotti. There's no one real superstar. Everybody has off games and the rest of the team picked it up. |
I told them before the game, defense and foul shots were going to win the game, and they proved me right. They made the key foul shots when we needed them. |
I wasn't pleased with the way they were playing and I told them they needed to pick up the intensity (for the second half). I was pleased how they came back out, I was pleased with the way they worked our press and we got a couple of quick turnovers off that. |
It was a rough first half after having such a long layoff. It's hard keeping them fresh. |
She's one that will never get tired and always gives 110 percent. She's a hustler, from beginning to end. |
We've got the core of our team coming back next year, and playing games like this really helps. It helps with your experience. |
