We lost a couple of close ones to Perrysburg, including one that went to triple overtime. We jumped out to a big lead and I really liked the way we finished. Perrysburg was scoring about 71 points a game and we held them to 44.
I think the light bulb is starting to go on for Jordan. He's beginning to use his size and quickness to his advantage, but I thought he kind of lost his legs in the second half.
We were up four and they came right back and got a 3 in transition and got right back in it. This was a tough one.
Obviously, in the second half, we handled their pressure a lot better. We had 15 turnovers in the first half and five in the second. Our kids battled. They kept bringing it and bringing it and bringing it.
They are quicker than anyone we play. I compared them to East Chicago Central, a team we played at a holiday tournament. They are the quickest team we have played and they are the most athletic team we have played.
We failed miserably at winning the league title, but we still can go for a district title.
We are used to getting open without a whole lot of effort in our league (the Northern Lakes League). Those guys switch screens hard and they jump out on you. You've got to be that much better execution-wise.
As I recall, Gregg didn't have everyone. We got them at a good time. Besides, sum- mer time is summer time. This is when it counts.
Without ever having a lead we were scrambling. The guys we played played a lot of minutes.
We finished tonight and I had talked about how we didn't finish in the other two games. We felt they didn't beat us, but it was more that we lost the games.
