Deming's a good team and we were playing in hostile territory. I thought we played good defense and our press bothered them, which becomes a mental thing for an opponent. |
We couldn't make a bucket when we needed a bucket. We pressed them and they turned the ball over which is exactly what we wanted. In the last quarter, we couldn't scored when we needed to. I'm really disappointed in how we played. |
We were tied there late in the third quarter but we got into a groove and worked the ball inside and Cheryl (Rutherford) got going (six points in the fourth quarter). Our bench gave us a big lift tonight, especially Emily Brant. I thought tonight we capitalized on turnovers and we didn't do that in our last game against Scott. |
With only two weeks left before the district tournament, there's not a whole lot you can teach kids now. You're too far down the road to be teaching kids how to shoot and how to execute. If we can't do it now, we have a problem. The only way we can find out what's going on is to get back out here on the floor. |
