I was disappointed in our effort in the first half, especially after we played so well Tuesday night (in a district win at Pulaski County).
Most of our games are won on defense and rebounding. We had much better energy, much more effort (in the second half).
We really didn't attack the basket well enough.
We'd already dug ourselves a hole, but we made a nice run. We shoot it well at times, but we're not very consistent.
That's just not being strong with the ball. They just guarded him and made him alter his shots, and he didn't take it right at them.
I really got a god effort from all my kids on the defensive end. We needed that in the worst way. You don't get a chance to beat Pulaski at Pulaski very often.
They guarded us better in the second half, and we didn't take it to them offensively.
We went back to the gym and really worked on defense, and got after it. And we played some of the best defense we played all year, maybe in a lot of years.
It's been a long struggle to try to get them to play with that intensity all the time. We didn't do it for a full game tonight, but we did it when we had to.
