They?re a good team, a real good team actually. Going into the season, there might have been some questions about their depth, but they have six or seven solid, solid players.
Obviously their size is an issue out there. They?re a veteran team that has been playing basketball together for a while now.
Mike was in a tough, no-win situation from Day 1. He was being asked to juggle two full-time positions, knowing full well it was going to be virtually impossible to manage it all.
Nineteen and 15 and she?s a junior. She was able to do most of her damage on the offensive end. She?d miss a shot, she?d tip it back, she?d put it up again or kick it out for an open look outside.
We go ahead and they come back and hit a three and that bit of doubt creeps back into your head. They?re a good team. They?re 7-3 for a reason.
With those two starters back, plus Barrera and Nolan, I think you have to call them the favorite. They have two top-flight pitchers and strength up the middle.
First thing on the board is that Huffman is a 3-point shooter off the catch. She came out and had four of them tonight.
It?s a good start. I?m very pleased for a guy like Andy, a senior who?s put in a lot of hard work for us.
To go into the fourth quarter 37-37 against a team that is as athletic as Concord, that?s a positive for us tonight. It can?t be the ultimate satisfaction, though. Our work has to pay off with wins. They need that as a team.
We played very hard right to the end. But again, we have to play mistake-free and tonight we made just enough.
