I think she fell in love with her (Thursday). |
I wouldn't consider it our best offensive movement of the ball, but we did a nice job. Tiffany was feeling it. She was nice and smooth and once it left her hands, you knew it was going in. |
I've only seen her with her hair down once - at our banquet. Otherwise, her hair's back. She walked into our banquet and I was like, 'Who are you?' She's just a basketball junkie. |
It was from that moment on when they realized how good they could be. |
It's a team with tradition. And if anybody's going to have a team prepared for that atmosphere, it's him. |
Megan Chart shadowed Higgins the whole game. She's their leading scorer and except for the third quarter, when nobody played defense, Megan kept her down. |
She's a calming influence at times, she's a source of energy at other times. |
She's played against bigger kids all her life, 5-8 and 5-9 players. She's so physically strong and has such great instincts that 5-3 doesn't matter. Rae Lin has no fear, knows how to play the game and use her body. |
That's when we were able to extend the lead. |
The key will be our composure and execution. We'll be one of the better ball-handling teams (Mukwonago) will face all year. |
This game was a roller-coaster ride and it just happened we were on top at the end. |
This was a perfect game heading into the tournament. Union Grove came out to play and we needed to struggle and show that we could come back in the fourth quarter. We played a fantastic fourth quarter. |
We actually thrive off some pressure . . . because we feel we can get the ball into Rae Lin and others. And once we get past that first wave, we just do a fantastic job of running our lanes and, for the most part, finishing. |
We came out ice cold, it was our worst first quarter in a while. We were down 19-9 (early in the second quarter). Our man-to-man defense wasn't working. |
We could have landed a knockout punch right then and there. But they went on a run and they kept it pretty close the rest of the game. |
