Many high school students are under so much competitive pressure.

Even highly credentialed professionals get caught up in this.

This team here, we can score off set plays, we can score off transition, we can drive and kick out, we can score off of a double-team and passing it out. We have a lot of weapons to play with.

We are a far better team when we get out and score in transition.

We are a defensive team, but I guess at one point we got caught up trying to score with them.

We stress not giving up big plays on defense, so that was a little disappointing. But I was glad to see the way we responded as a team after that score gave us a little reality check.
