If you give great players a challenge, those players will do great things. I challenged my players, and they did just that in the second half.
We didn't make shots, but a lot of credit to Hartford. They were hungry for a win and needed one. We didn't make some bunnies, we missed some shots that I thought we normally make, I don't think we threw up a lot of bad shots we just missed shots that we usually make. They did a nice job on us. I knew this was a bee's nest coming into tonight.
The bottom line is I guess we got it done. We had a couple of kids who weren't in the rotation tonight and it really showed. We had some different groups out there that haven't spent a lot of time together. Overall, they (Oxbow) were a scrappy team and so we had to scrap. We got it done though. We have a big game on Friday, so now all eyes are on Randolph.
I was just so lucky to have her. When we played Randolph, we needed scoring and she stepped up and scored 12 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter. And when we needed to get other people involved, she'd do that.
Other coaches were amazed at how quickly she got up the court.
(Walker) has just been playing real well. She runs real hard, she is just up and down the court.
You're never going to see a high-scoring offensive show when we come together. I think some of it's nerves, and some of it is that both teams play so darn hard. We really know how to take each others' strengths away.
The 10 or 15-foot jumper was her game. And for a kid who's not very big, she had a lot of points in the paint.
Sometimes a loss isn't always a bad thing in the grand scheme of things. We're going to be all right.
