against attack practiced
We practiced against the 3-2 but we were passive. We didn't attack it.
change easier game job played quarter second shooting start struggled
We usually start off slowly. We usually play better in the second half, but we just played well in the second quarter and they really struggled shooting the ball. Obviously, that made things easier for us. We didn't change anything. We went with our game plan. We just did a better job executing.
fight hard second until
We didn't show up to play until the second half, and when you're down by 19 it's hard to fight back.
falling fourth open quarter shots third
We had shots falling in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter we didn't have those. We had some open looks. They just didn't fall.
came fourth happened matter mean playing quarter records wants win
When you play your rival, you have to know that they're going to come with everything they've got. Records mean nothing. It doesn't matter who's playing well, who's not playing well. It's who comes out and wants to win it. Northridge came out and wanted to win it. We just happened to want it more in the fourth quarter and we did things right in the fourth quarter.
beginning days girls practice ready starting taking three tournament weeks year
We're taking three days off. We're having a little sleepover, some relaxation. I told them we're starting a whole new season. It's just like the beginning of the year where we have two weeks of practice and then get ready for the game. I'm ready for the tournament and I think the girls are, too.
bust girls stepped
We have a lot of girls who go out there and just bust their butts. It showed (against Centerburg) when some of our girls stepped up. They didn't want to lose.
sanctity
We would like to keep the sanctity of our neighborhood as it is -- rural.
beginning chelsea free hit throws
Luckily, Chelsea hit those free throws at the end. If we would have made them at the beginning, it wouldn't have been that close, but we made them when it counted.
ball basically bringing good great guard hands momentum morgan point possibly pressure puts team throws
Morgan does that basically every game. We put her on their point guard and we tell her to pressure without fouling, play good defense. When she does that, it puts the ball in someone else's hands that's possibly not used to bringing it up and it kind of throws their momentum off. She does a great job. Without her, we wouldn't be the team we are.
against gave girls good halftime lose lost points proud second
My girls never gave up. We were down by 16 at halftime and we lose by 18. We lost the second half by two points against a very good team. I'm very proud of how they played.
cousin felt helpless lost three wished
I lost a cousin about three years ago. I felt helpless and wished there was something I could have done.
