I agree with you completely. This is an unbelievable group of girls - ON and OFF the court....(I know most of them very well).
As I stood in the stands and watched the game yesterday all I could think about is how proud I am of all of them and Coach but for several reasons, not just their winning season. They know what they want and what needs to be done to accomplish that and they have done it every time. These girls love the game. They love knowing that they have to step up to a challenge - and they are not afraid to. They don't hold out either - they bring it to every game. On any given night any one of them WILL step up and make it happen. I thought I was gonna have a melt down when Bailey came out anDr. sunk that 3 less than ten seconds into the game. Then there was Thompson dominating the paint (and boards), Hayes brought her 3-ball with her, and they all brought their defense.
I thought the same thing you did about wanting to run more earlier in the season. Coach C has changed his game up so much since I played for him _____ years ago. I didn't understand, but knew that it really didn't matter because whatever he was doing was obviously working. And work well it has. I can honestly say that I enjoy watching this team set up and play a half court offense and execute plays than the run-and-gun game we used to play. We had a very good tea but these girls are better and are making history right now. And that is a lot of momentum.
Good luck Friday against Wayne Co.
