We didn't panic. We got some clutch rebounds and then we made some free throws in the end.
We did a lot of good things tonight. The nicest thing was we had 10 girls play and all 10 scored. Plus, a lot of the reserves got a lot of minutes.
The thing I noticed about our team was they didn't hang their heads. They were all focused. They knew the game wasn't over.
Had we shot a little better on offense, we could have had even a bigger night. But I'm not complaining. I thought the girls played very well.
It was nice to win those first two games against South and Memorial, but to rally back against Eisenhower and then win in overtime, that helped our confidence a lot. We were down the whole game that night. To come back and win that one told me a lot about the character we have this year.
The nice thing about this team is our depth is so good. There's absolutely no hesitation to go the bench and play all the kids. We've not had this much talent on the same team ever before. It's a nice luxury to have as a coach.
There's no doubt in my mind that winning those two games got us started on the right foot. The Classic 8 Conference is one of the best leagues in the state for girls basketball and all sports. So to get two wins from those two teams helped our conference a lot.
Our girls wanted to prove something tonight. It's a credit to our kids. They didn't fold.
This is a nice win because it puts us up two games over three teams. We've been winning games, but could only get a one-game lead. Now we've got a little cushion. I thought our kids played a pretty good basketball game tonight.
