We really stepped up our defense in the second half. We were able to get some transition baskets which triggered our scoring and we maintained our intensity on defense.
Arcata is poised to strike. They've lost some tough games and they would like nothing more than to knock us off.
One of the keys for us this game was Norton tying up Biggs. He (Biggs) got his points but David did a great job limiting what he could do by not letting him get the ball.
It's absolutely terrific to play in front of a crowd like this. It's the way high school basketball is supposed to be played. The band, the fans and the energy, it was great.
Things are kind of right where I expected them to be. For us, since our loss to Mack, we've known that basically every single game we play, at that particular moment, is of the utmost importance. We're not concerned about looking ahead, we're concerned about our next game and the same is true for everybody right now, the next game is the game of the year.
Fortuna always plays us tough here. For whatever reason, they're tougher than nails here and tonight was no exception. Fortuna's a quick team and they have some strong players but our guys knew our position in conference right now and they really stepped up.
We've been a streaky team. We had a nice start last night in our win over Maria Carrillo and almost let it get away. We made a lot of shots early. We knew Windsor was a tough team. They are well coached, and they didn't quit. I think they will be a factor in their league.
It was a good thing we were able to keep them from scoring points in the first half because our shooting was terrible. We were getting every possible look we wanted but just couldn't knock them down.
It was exactly the kind of game I expected. Sometimes the ball doesn't seem as round as it looks but we'll live to fight another day. I'm still proud of my team and what they've accomplished this year.
