Defense Quotations | Page 5

We started to get some defense stops and that allowed us to run.

We started to gain confidence from turnovers that the defense was coming up with, and it gave our offense a better outlet for attacking. When the defense is strong and playing like that you can take a lot more risks.

We started the year preaching the defense will lead the rest of the game. We have to be best there in order to win.

We started slow at the plate, but kept putting pressure on them with bunting and running until we could get some timely hitting. We made some mistakes, but again played great defense when we it was needed. The pitchers did a good job.

We started playing better on defense and I think Eagle Valley got a little worn down. In the third and fourth quarters, they (Rifle) kept the intensity up, which I appreciate.

We started playing better defense and took charge. We did some good things offensively and played much better defense in the second half.

We started passing well. We played defense a little better, we started getting blocks outside and we were serving a little tougher ourselves.

West Rutland's defense is excellent. I thought we played pretty well in the second half but our shots just weren't falling. They did a better job than anyone has on Marcy.

We struggle sometimes on offense, but we play hard on defense every second we're out there.

We struggle offensively. Defense is what keeps us around. Senior forward Evan Walker brings it every night defensively, he works his butt off. All our guys do.
