I give West Canada Valley a lot of credit. They did some things on defense that took us out of what we wanted to do offensively. They came out and played with intensity and by the end of the first quarter we knew we were in a game.
The turning point was not letting them score again before halftime. It could have been 21-14. Instead, we knew we were getting the ball back (to start the second half) with a 21-7 lead. That was a key.
We knew our defense would be a strong point but I don't know if we thought they would play that well. We have so many kids back who have been through so much. They have the experience to recognize what's going on and anticipate the play.
