We got off to ordsprog

We got off to a great start, leading 15-1 at one point. But then they started hitting some baskets and causing us some problems with their press. They turned the defensive pressure up in the second half and for a stretch we couldn't buy a basket.

I told the guys that we need to get to the basket and run. I knew that if we ran in both halves, then we would start to get easy baskets in the second half. Not too many teams are able to run with us, but everything must start on the defensive end.

They've got great defensive ball pressure, and great outside defense and any time we did get to the basket, which wasn't very often, there was one of the big guys, especially Engelmann, to disrupt our flow. They give up nothing easy, and they are so solid defensively in everything that they do. I felt we played a good half of basketball. Hopefully, we'll get to the point where we play 32 minutes like they did.

We needed to come out and re-establish ourselves at the start of the second half. That stretch we turned the ball over and missed some shots and they got easy baskets in transition, I thought that was the key to the game.

We had things go our way in the third quarter, obviously. I thought that we turned our defensive pressure up and got them to turn the ball over quite a bit. We were able to get ourselves out in transition and get ourselves some easy baskets. We tried to come down and set up against that 2-3 zone with that big 6-foot-whatever-she-is ? that was tough going in the first half.

Malcolm X started fighting among themselves because they were missing some easy shots. We just played them a week ago and that's what they did to us. We turned up the defensive pressure and got off to a good start.

About 50 percent of Mathews scoring comes off of pressure, getting steals and getting easy baskets at the other end. We knew we had to take care of that. Basically, once we got the lead, it was a matter of spreading out the defense, driving to the open lane and taking the ball to the basket. We really didn't take the ball to the basket strongly in the first half. Those were two simple adjustments we wanted to make in the second half.

The biggest part of that was their press turned us over probably three, four, five times in a row and they converted that into baskets. Once that happened, we couldn't get it stopped.

We couldn't make any baskets (and) couldn't get any defensive rebounds. They took advantage of it. They made a lot of offensive rebound baskets on us. We couldn't get over the hump.

They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.

We couldn't press like we wanted to, but our pressure defense in the half-court set was great. We took their big guy out of the game, and that really made the difference.

The first half we really struggled offensively as their zone (defense) was causing us some problems and we kind of stood around. The second half we started to push the ball and become more aggressive.

We looked sluggish in the first half and turned it on with defensive pressure in the second half. We were very lucky where we were coming out of the first half.

In the second half, I thought our press bothered them a lot and we got some easy baskets and that made the difference. We got them in some traps where we didn't get them trapped in the first half. A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. When we trap guys -- we have pretty good size for a high school team -- that causes problems.

I'm not sure how it started, but the group that started the second half just exploded on the defensive end of the court. There was a stretch of over a minute where Aledo didn't get the ball across half court. It set the pace for the rest of the game.
