Free throws, that?s the story right there. We make half our free throws, we win the game.
Our pressure frustrated them and created some easy opportunities for ourselves. South Medford had 11 turnovers in the first half, and we turned most of those into transition buckets.
We never really recovered. We came out in the third quarter and just tanked it. We had too many turnovers and too many fouls and just never got in a rhythm.
When we gave up those two buckets at the end of the quarter, we never got the momentum back. The tempo slowed down, and it was not to our advantage.
(Schultz) attacked the hoop and played her normal steady game.
Erica has that confidence now in what we?re trying to do. She?s a great young athlete who?s going to continue to get better. Really, I think she?s just touched the surface.
The girls battled hard to get back into the game. They never gave up even though they were down double digits in front of a hostile crowd.
It was a typical cross-town grudge match. We needed to get back on track. It was nice to get a win.
