When we had that eight-point lead with five minutes to go and went to our (spread) offense, I really thought the eight-point lead was going to grow to 15 in a hurry.
I thought we had the advantage inside, so we wanted to go into the post. We wanted to make sure we ran a lot of different offensive sets, and give them a lot of different looks. And it worked to our advantage.
In terms of basketball experience, they're a mature group.
Our guys were extremely fundamental catching it, shooting it, taking care of it. And then, of course, stepping up and knocking down free throw after free throw after free throw.
Most of the 3s were good looks, but it's also about the time we were taking them.
These guys have not forgotten last year. I'm sure every single one of them remembers the taste of that loss.
You've got to give them credit. They're a good defensive team, and their length does make a difference, but most of the turnovers I felt like were unforced.
I can honestly say it's the best zone defense we've seen all year. I just felt like we didn't attack the zone enough.
At the end of last season, the only thing I could think about was getting back this year to the district championship game against Forks. Now, it looks like that's where we are.
I thought we executed our half-court offense very well. Again, guys shared the ball.
