I'm a little shocked by how our defense played. We've always been a good defensive team, but four five quarters in row now, we haven't shown up.
Laura's a good athlete who's going to compete for a starting job in the back from Day One. She's a tough kid who is capable of making a big impact on our defense.
We knew it was going to be a great game. We got them at our place; they got us at theirs -- that's even up. That makes the next two pretty important, being I-8 conference games. We knew what we needed to do to stop them, but we didn't do a good job with what our game plan was.
We need to spend time resting up, but we still expect them to be competitive and have good times.
We did a lot of things right tonight. They're always happy when I give them a day off, and this is a time when I can feel good about giving them a day off.
This is the first game that we were able to put an entire match together. We played very well at times and not so good at others, but those down times are becoming fewer and fewer.
Before Tiffany was on the team, we were a very good team. Now, we're a championship-type team. She can make the ball do things that normal people can't make it do.
They made their free throws down the end. A big key was we didn't do a very good job defensively by letting them in the lane, but we did a good job limiting their 3s which is their main focal point.
They have a pretty good following and good name recognition, ... Most of them are kind of like what traditional secular music is playing, but with a Christian message. From top to bottom, this is probably the best one we've had.
We had talked about being in the game right away. Their (Yorkville) plan was to get up early and try to maintain it, and they held on. I thought they did a good job hitting shots when they needed to.
They're a really good team. We need to go back to practice, get a little more fit and continue to work on the offensive end.
