All three teams are competitive and any one could win and advance to the next level. |
Athletics means more than just winning games. We want our players be productive in society and to gain a sense of the things that are going on in the world today. |
I'm frustrated that we didn't play that good. But I'm happy for our kids because they could have folded when we lost that 15-point lead. |
It wasn't a pretty win, but we'll take it. They kept coming at us, but we were able to make some free throws down the stretch and get the victory. |
Momentum definitely took a turn there in the second half. Sean made a big play for us on the kickoff return. We've got middle wedge set up and he just busted outside. That's why we've got him back there - he's got a little bit of speed. |
Our defense has played fairly well. In the Robinson game, we gave up some yards, but that's a little misleading. We were able to keep them out of the end zone, and that is what is most important statistically. |
Our kids have finished games. They've played hard, they've bounced back. They've done a good job, but I've got to figure out a way to get us more ready to come out in the first quarter. |
They put some people in the box trying to stop our run, but I thought we did a good job staying on blocks. The backs did a good job finding the hole. |
They're very well-coached defensively about squeezing and playing their position. We just felt like we wanted to run a little bit more quick game at them. Sean read it well and did a great job doing that. |
We can't continue to let teams take the ball and drive it 78 yards down the field and score on the first series and then us go three-and-out on offense and give up field position right away again. Sooner or later it's going to come back to bite us in the rear end. |
We wanted to establish ourselves early physically, and I thought we did that. Our defense kept 'em pinned up, so we had great field position all night. |
We were finally able to hit some shots. We rebounded well in the first half, but we couldn't shoot. But early in the second half the ball started falling in. |
