Our kids have been resilient all year long. We are really playing well at the right time of the season.
Our bench is one area we have an advantage. Hopefully by the time the fourth quarter comes around, they will have tired legs.
With a 10-year-old of my own who loves basketball, she asks me questions all the time that make me wonder how she knew that. I bet that was what Cassie was doing at her age.
We were a lot stronger underneath this time and had the size advantage. We also were more patient and kept swinging the ball until we had an open look and then finished strong.
We are a much better team than the first time (we played Stow). I hope that will show through.
