Freddie Leathers Game Quotations

I felt we had used a lot of energy getting back into the game with a furious press and that we were beginning to run on fumes. Also, I was confident that our personnel was much quicker and could use the spread offense to our advantage against the taller Taylor team.

Yeah, we didn't shoot the foul shots well but we were still in the game with two minutes left in the game. Our defense cost us the game. We never adjusted to their offense and they shot lay-ups all night.

The way the game was called there was a lot of contact under the basket. She (Browning) only got to the line for two or three free throws and she was getting hit on the arm all night long. That put us at an extreme disadvantage.

Bardstown is really on a roll right now. They're playing as well as anybody in the region. We had things going the way we wanted early in the game, but they are just so athletic and quick that the game just changed like that.

We came out in the second half very aggressive. We played with a lot of heart and we had chances late in the game but just couldn't make the plays.

This was another one of those ball games that we could easily have won. We had an eight-point lead and let it get away. We played three really good games this week and didn't win any of them.

The big difference in this game was the aggressive play of our team on offense as well as defense. This was a breakout game for Dee. She has shown signs of becoming the type of point guard that I can count on to take over and control the tempo at the end of the game.

We played fairly well but Russell shot the ball extremely well and we never could get the lead late in the game. It was a game that seesawed back and forth all night with Russell taking advantage of the home court and some timely foul shooting to gain the victory.

Taylor County is a good match-up for us, a team that we are not afraid of playing against. We lost a tough game to them when we made only 17 of 33 free throws, but we have beaten them two out of three times.

I thought we came out and got intimidated early on. It was a physical game and the officials were letting them play and we didn't adjust in time.

Nicole played a nice game especially considering the fact that Nelson County had three girls her size to rotate in on her. She played solid though and showed what she can do.

The first half was a very sloppily played game on our part. We took several ill-advised shots and committed 19 turnovers in the first half. But in the second half, we played much better.
