Freddie Leathers Quotations

We failed to take advantage of Brittany's first half foul trouble and it came back to haunt us in the second half. I thought Washington County's bench came in and did a great job while Brittany was on the bench.

Nicole played a nice game especially considering the fact that Nelson County had three girls her size to rotate in on her. She played solid though and showed what she can do.

I thought we played a good defensive game. We struggled offensively though both from the field and the free throw line.

I thought we came out and got intimidated early on. It was a physical game and the officials were letting them play and we didn't adjust in time.

I thought that Campbellsville played a really nice game. They have improved immensely since I scouted them at the beginning of the year.

We played fairly well but Russell shot the ball extremely well and we never could get the lead late in the game. It was a game that seesawed back and forth all night with Russell taking advantage of the home court and some timely foul shooting to gain the victory.

We really needed this win. I was confident throughout though, even when they took the lead late in the game, I still thought we'd come out on top.

We came out in the second half very aggressive. We played with a lot of heart and we had chances late in the game but just couldn't make the plays.

Yeah, we didn't shoot the foul shots well but we were still in the game with two minutes left in the game. Our defense cost us the game. We never adjusted to their offense and they shot lay-ups all night.

We didn't shoot the ball particularly well but we got so many more opportunities than they did that it really didn't matter.

This was another one of those ball games that we could easily have won. We had an eight-point lead and let it get away. We played three really good games this week and didn't win any of them.

Even though we were down by 12 at halftime, I was still pleased with our play. The second half though, that was a different story. Our poor shooting caught up to us and they just had more talent and depth.

They are a nice team. They're ranked third in our region and they have a lot of talent. We know where we need to be to compete with the best in our region.

These are two evenly matched teams and it should set up for a very interesting first round district game.

After all that's happened recently, I just let it go this week. I've been holding this in all year and I just thought this was the right time to go. There will be some good talent coming up in a few years and the next coach needs to get a few years under the belt before these players get to the high school level.

Bardstown is really on a roll right now. They're playing as well as anybody in the region. We had things going the way we wanted early in the game, but they are just so athletic and quick that the game just changed like that.

The way the game was called there was a lot of contact under the basket. She (Browning) only got to the line for two or three free throws and she was getting hit on the arm all night long. That put us at an extreme disadvantage.

Amber (Mudd) has really improved her outside shooting these past couple of weeks. She's been putting in the work and she's now knocking them down. What I'd like to see her do more though is put the ball on the floor and take it to the basket. That will free her up for more shots down the road.

It was a very hard fought victory. Dee was fantastic and made the big plays when we needed them and Natalie King played an excellent game. Natalie has given us another force inside and lately has been our most consistent player in the paint.

It's frustrating but what can you do except practice even more than we do now. I didn't think that we played particularly well and defensively I was very disappointed.

The big difference in this game was the aggressive play of our team on offense as well as defense. This was a breakout game for Dee. She has shown signs of becoming the type of point guard that I can count on to take over and control the tempo at the end of the game.

Taylor County is a good match-up for us, a team that we are not afraid of playing against. We lost a tough game to them when we made only 17 of 33 free throws, but we have beaten them two out of three times.

I felt we had used a lot of energy getting back into the game with a furious press and that we were beginning to run on fumes. Also, I was confident that our personnel was much quicker and could use the spread offense to our advantage against the taller Taylor team.

The first half was a very sloppily played game on our part. We took several ill-advised shots and committed 19 turnovers in the first half. But in the second half, we played much better.

The first half I thought that we played pretty good basketball. We didn't really shoot the ball particularly well but we rebounded the ball well enough to stay in the game.
