We need to work on some things. I have to be aware of their legs going into the tournament and make sure we are rested, but we do have a few corrections to make. |
We opened it up a little outside. We had some kids like Aaron and Alan step up and hit big shots. Defensively, we extended their offense by getting in the passing lanes and caused some turnovers. |
We played a tough schedule this season in preparation for these type of games. It's paid off for us at the district and regional level and it did again tonight. |
We really haven't played a lot of teams outside of our area, so there is a bit of an unknown going in. There are several powers that are always good on the A level — Bradley, Emerson, Guy Perkins and Kingston. We just want to go down there and play our best basketball. |
We're still trying to figure out how to stop him from driving to the basket. |
We've been able to control the tempo. We've done well on the defensive boards and our defense has been solid. We're a balanced scoring team with consistent offensive output and we haven't gotten rattled or lost our composure or patience even when we're down. |
We've got to limit their second and third chances. One and out is our goal. We're going to use some things defensively that we saw other teams use on them with success: Double teaming in the post and flashing from different areas. |
