Even with them gone, those we had were performing well. They (Hondo) were really focused inside on Kayla, but the others really stepped up.
Now we just have to take care of our own business.
They were getting tired. And because of that, they were getting frustrated.
We've been working real hard on trying not to foul. Thursday (at Carrizozo) we only had eight team fouls.
We tried to foul after that to stop the clock, but the refs wouldn't call a foul.
These girls never quit. In the locker room, as soon as the game ended, our seniors were talking to the underclassmen about how to get back here.
My coaching was like it was from outer space. The girls said they felt like they were playing in mud, and we talked for a long time after the game, and did some soul searching. That included the coaching staff.
They were playing us pretty even until the third quarter, but that's when our conditioning kicked in. We have our good days and our bad days with stopping penetration, but tonight we did a really good job.
We go to these 'Victory With Honor' clinics; our kids have to attend and Pine Hill kids have to attend, but how many officials have to go also?
They tried like hell to penetrate, time after time. So for us to hold them to 46 points, I think that's great.
