Losing to them twice last year left a hole in our gut. That gave us a goal to aim for this year, and I'm happy we accomplished that, but it's not over yet.
Last year, we were a little awestruck. The whole ride, we were like, 'Wow,' looking around. This year, it's more business. There's emotion, but there's more business. We know what has to get done and we know we have to play our best.
It was frustrating. They were hustling more than we were. We were scoring points, but we weren't getting to the boards like we usually do.
It was quite a ride. Unfortunately, it had to stop short both times here (at East Aurora). But I guess if it had to stop short, what better place than here with all of my family close by.
I don't shoot unless it's open. My teammates found me for some open looks and I was fortunate enough to knock them down.
I don't shoot unless I'm open, and my teammates were finding me.
They were playing really well. They were hustling more than we were. We weren't playing as well on defense as we normally do. That was bothering us. That's usually our backbone.
Quite a ride. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Unfortunately it had to stop short both times here.
They're a lot like us. They're a quick defensive team. They rely on their defense to get their offense going. They have a couple of good shooters and they like to crash the boards tough.
Our ball movement was pretty good. We've been swinging the ball really well, always looking for the extra pass.
