I do want to credit the girls for playing great defense. Our achilles heel was not being able to handle the press at the end of the game and not getting the ball handling we needed to get.
We only sell beer when there are scheduled games and events. The city has one police officer on duty at the park during the entire time, and there have not been many problems in recent years.
We would only play about eight or nine games a year. We barely had enough players to field a team.
The only game we've got is the one in front of us. We've really come together and gelled. Everyone knows their role. There are no egos -- we just play. We have a lot of talent.
I like the defense a lot. We were having trouble with their zone. They were patient on offense. It was just the kind of game that it was.
We tried to work for high percentage shots, we need to. Horton wasn't going to give us any easy baskets. They dictated the pace of the game pretty good.
The last four weeks, it's been so much different. There seems to be more passion for the game on the girls' part. They've always worked hard in practice, but they seem to understand what we're trying to do. That makes me feel good for them.
I'm pleased to see that. We had a bad game against a very good team. We learned a lesson. But if we get the chance to play them again, we know we can compete.
