Against the good teams, we come out slow most of the time and they kept us from running. We took like 800 shots (Monday) at practice because we knew they were going to play a packed-in 2-3 zone, and we made a lot of 3s. |
At Monessen we had them by one in the fourth quarter and we lost and, at their place, we had them by 10 in the first quarter and we lost. We're going to play our normal game, we're going to play hard and we're going to run like we usually do. |
Everybody counted us out of even getting here. But the girls fought, they played hard, and now, we have a championship. |
I was hoping to stall the ball because I thought they would make another run. We never cracked under the pressure. |
The big girl (Pearson) was non-existent in the first half. I told them we're going to have to live or die by the three, and they just have to go in. |
We didn't get too many calls in the fourth quarter. They were pushing us and I'm not going to say the officials cost us, but there was a stretch when we didn't get a call at all. We went cold and got stuck on 42 for a long time. |
We rely on our defense to slow teams down, and it worked to perfection. Then, it's just a matter of getting the ball in the hoop. |
We were a little nervous. |
We're going to go with a four-guard offense and boy are they fast. |
We're going to run and push the ball. My only concern is how well we will rebound. We'll have to see. |
