I thought that overall we played well and at different times in the second half we controlled the play. |
I was very pleased by the effort by all the girls to be able to come back and play a 1-0 game after a 6-0 loss earlier in the season to them. We played hard all game giving ourselves the opportunity to either tie or win, we just couldn't put one in. |
I'm really proud of the way the girls played, coming back from a tough game yesterday. We came right out and put the game away early, we didn't sit back and went right after the ball. |
She felt something crack. That injury thing affected the girls and they were concerned about her. We played a good first quarter then lost our intensity in the second quarter and stopped doing what we needed to do. We found some energy down the stretch. |
The girls came out tentative and gave up an early goal. We had our chances to score, we just didn't capitalize on them. |
The girls played with a lot of intensity. They were looking to pass the ball and they talked a lot. |
This was a good win for us, as it was a real physical game. We went to the line 37 times, making 25 of them. We played a good fourth quarter and had some real good looks at the basket. |
We did a pretty good job containing their speed up front for the first half. Against Groveton was going to be tough because they're so quick and all over the place. But if you're out of shape, it's going to be bad and it was in the second half. We were letting them walk around us. We needed to capitalize on our chances early. |
We played even with them until the third quarter. Down the stretch we didn't play smart basketball, we got lazy on defense and were forced to foul. |
We sat back a lot and allowed them to beat us to a lot of 50/50 balls, which kept the play in the midfield. Towards the end we pressured, but are still having trouble scoring against the better teams. |
We were 7-for-11 from the line in the fourth quarter and held them to only two baskets. |
