basketball doubt happen learn loss move plenty point understand
We let this one get away from us, there is no doubt about that. All we can do at this point is understand that these things will happen with a young team. We need to learn from this loss and move on. There is still plenty of basketball to play.
ahead capable defense good lots offense pitching scoring situations
We know our offense is capable of scoring lots of runs, and then we know it's up to our pitching and defense to really get after their batters. They got ahead in situations early, and that was good for our offense.

When you're doing that stuff (ordering equipment), you're trying to get what's best for the kids.

Pat puts a lot of pressure on himself to become a better player. He just could not get a shot to fall. But he did get some good looks.
beat behind shows sportsman though
Even though they beat us (the Broncos) in the playoffs, I'm behind them. I think that shows you what kind of a sportsman I am.
beat shot
That was a big shot for them at the end of the half. You could kind of see that we were deflated after that shot to beat the buzzer.
close constant five foul free games hard learn lose losses lost percent points process teams three time win
Young teams sometimes just need time to learn how to win. It's a process and the frustrating thing is that it's been something different doing us in every game. Our foul shooting's been 54 percent in the five losses so that's been one constant but we've lost three of them by 4 points or less. It's hard enough to win and you lose the close games when you can't do things like make free throws.
certain coaches funny games gotten improved improvement players seven six
It's funny because the team's really gotten better, even lately. Players don't see improvement during stretches like this but coaches do and it's there. Even from just six or seven games ago, we've improved in certain areas.
against both came game great teams trying
It was a great pitched game on both sides. We were trying to go back-to-back against Mid-County teams and we just came up short.
behind feels game hang kids nobody respond sorry themselves victory
After the game, I told the kids that nobody feels sorry for themselves and not to hang their head. We just have to respond to this and put the game behind us. We need a victory on Saturday.

Every week is important for us. Every game is important for us. We've got to win the games we think we can win. Then, hopefully, we can sneak up on a team that's sitting in a playoff spot already.
