bit continued defensive efficiency offensive putting screws slow start
We got off to a little bit of a slow start but continued to tighten the defensive screws as well as putting our offensive efficiency together.
behind coming five four hard kid legs minutes provide time year
You get to this time of year and one of the things we try to do is keep their legs fresh. When you know that you can go out there and go hard for three, four or five minutes . . . and then you're going to get a break, and that kid coming in behind you is going to provide a spark, it frees you up to do more.
against case confidence doctor last needed oak offense ordered red shoot shot struggled terms tonight turning week
We needed this. It was kind of what the doctor ordered because last week we struggled in terms of scoring. We put up 44 against Red Oak and 48 against LC, and our offense is better than that. It wasn't a case where we were turning it over, it was a case where we didn't shoot well, and tonight we shot it very, very well. We got some confidence back.
basketball gave girls locker map position proud room understand
I told them in the locker room that I was very proud of them. I told them to be disappointed in the loss, because you gave it everything you had and I understand the tears, but at the same time, you have put Harlan girls basketball back on the map in a position that it has not been for awhile.
came night sudden together
All of a sudden that night we just came together and clicked.
backward basketball forward looking players playing rather second side sudden throw
All of a sudden (in the second half) we started to play vertical, where now we're playing forward basketball rather than looking to throw the ball backward and going side to side. We got our players out running.
advance game hour ready
There's no aesthetics anymore, you just want to survive, advance and live to play another day. We'll (practice Sunday) for about an hour and then get ready for a very scrappy, very game Creston team.
basketball helped map proud
I'm very proud of all of them. They helped put Harlan (girls) basketball back on the map ... a place it hasn't been in a while.
free gave hat lost plays seniors stepped throws tip won
Their seniors stepped up and made free throws - I think of the two one-and-ones there at the end. You have to tip your hat to them. I don't think we lost it or gave it away as much as they made plays and won it.
built came early led nicole
Nicole came out and led us early and got some big baskets and built our confidence.

Our pressure defense was very strong. I thought our help-side defense was very good at times as well.
