(We) have been real consistent lately. Jenny (Gilbertson) might be our leading scorer, but you can't focus just on her. There are four other players that are averaging double-figures and a couple others are getting awfully close. |
I absolutely could not be prouder of my daughter. But, at the same time, I am not surprised. I have seen her play through injury and illness before. She is one of those kids that a coach hopes for. |
I challenged the team. I told them to go out and prove they're ready for tonight's game. |
I didn't talk about the streak all week. I didn't want to use it as motivation. |
I don't think there has been a better year for basketball. It's great for the high school kids, but maybe even more so for those kids in sixth, seventh and eighth grade. They see how much fun those section and state games are. |
I think this game is going to help us. It was exactly what we needed. We were on a roll and had some easy games. This was our wakeup call. We'll get better because of this game. |
Jake had some of the most powerful runs I've seen him do. Early, he wasn't hitting the hole and I pulled him aside. The next play, he made a huge run n the kid was challenged and answered it. |
Our defense is really coming on. That's going to carry us in the playoffs. |
She looked like she was in total control. She was very consistent and got out in front. The nice thing about Hannah is that she is good on both sides of the plate. |
She struggled. She started good, but then she put on these wool gloves and got a rash. Her hands turned raw. We had to tape her hands up for her to play. |
That was the longest game I have ever been a part of. It's always long when you're trying to close out a game, but we didn't put it away at the line. |
There is a movement in that direction. It would have to come from the coaches first. I believe the high school league made it clear they would approve. |
They didn't miss (Montgomery). She wasn't open. |
They had a hard time refocusing after that, I think. I don't expect that this time. Kingsland is a veteran team and has looked like a state championship quality team. |
We played a great game all game long. We hit in the clutch, we ran the bases well and then we made two mistakes and they took advantage for some runs. |
