They did a nice job of keeping us off the boards in the first half. That kept us from running the ball as much as we would've liked. That was a pretty good defensive game.

I'm fairly excited about how we're playing. We're not there yet, but we're showing our potential. I see us reaching it. The question is, can we do that consistently? We cannot afford a night when we don't have our A game.

We have a lot of respect for the competition in the CCL. We know the X on our back is bolder for the second time through. This is an important goal for us to achieve and we're taking it very seriously.

We always felt that if we could get this point, we would have a good chance to get to (the state tournament).

One of our goals was to try and frustrate them (on the perimeter) and I thought we had some success.

There was a big to-do about this team last year. We had big expectations. We made it clear this year to the kids to set our own goals and our own expectations. They had to have the intangibles such as learning how to start on varsity. Something we struggled with last year was that it was a team effort. We got them to buy into a team situation. Now, our balance of scoring with the basketball is pretty incredible.

The effort was there. The attention to detail was there all week.... We were never able to get into a rhythm.

It's a play we've run all season, a zone quick-hitting play. It blew open fairly well, but we mishandled for just a split second and that took us out of the play we wanted.

I was impressed with the way he finished, even under good pressure. I don't feel like we gave him anything easy. He just made some really big plays.
good pressure feel plays easy made big
That was a good example of us turning the ball over when we normally don't, then they made the shot. But I don't think it was as much of a momentum swing as it could have been. We had the half to regroup. If the game continues, I think it might have had a bigger impact.
