Quotes by Freddie Leathers
The first half I thought that we played pretty good basketball. We didn't really shoot the ball particularly well but we rebounded the ball well enough to stay in the game.
The first half was a very sloppily played game on our part. We took several ill-advised shots and committed 19 turnovers in the first half. But in the second half, we played much better.
I felt we had used a lot of energy getting back into the game with a furious press and that we were beginning to run on fumes. Also, I was confident that our personnel was much quicker and could use the spread offense to our advantage against the taller Taylor team.
Taylor County is a good match-up for us, a team that we are not afraid of playing against. We lost a tough game to them when we made only 17 of 33 free throws, but we have beaten them two out of three times.
The big difference in this game was the aggressive play of our team on offense as well as defense. This was a breakout game for Dee. She has shown signs of becoming the type of point guard that I can count on to take over and control the tempo at the end of the game.
It's frustrating but what can you do except practice even more than we do now. I didn't think that we played particularly well and defensively I was very disappointed.
It was a very hard fought victory. Dee was fantastic and made the big plays when we needed them and Natalie King played an excellent game. Natalie has given us another force inside and lately has been our most consistent player in the paint.
Amber (Mudd) has really improved her outside shooting these past couple of weeks. She's been putting in the work and she's now knocking them down. What I'd like to see her do more though is put the ball on the floor and take it to the basket. That will free her up for more shots down the road.
The way the game was called there was a lot of contact under the basket. She (Browning) only got to the line for two or three free throws and she was getting hit on the arm all night long. That put us at an extreme disadvantage.
Bardstown is really on a roll right now. They're playing as well as anybody in the region. We had things going the way we wanted early in the game, but they are just so athletic and quick that the game just changed like that.
