I was only able to play Avery one quarter because she was suiting up with the varsity and she gave us a lift in the second quarter.

Both our opponents packed in a zone defense and we did not shoot the ball well. But we did play well enough on defense to get things done.

To break a zone, you have to be able to shoot from the outside or reverse the ball and get to the baseline, and then go inside. We did not do a good job of that either game.

Roxanne scored twice on lay-ups after steals and she hit one jump shot. She's long-armed and that helps her defensively.

Isaiah did all that while being sick. He looked white and pale out there but he gutted it up.

We cut the lead to 12 by the intermission and our goal was to get the deficit down to six before the fourth quarter. I had no idea we would actually lead by 12 after the third quarter.
