Quotes by Gavin Miller
All that is, is focus. It's focusing on the moment. Focusing on what has got to be done and what you are going to do to get it done.
Holy cow; that's a big deal. That's the first time ever for Dexter to be ranked No. 1 in the poll. That is just a really big honor, because even last year we were never No. 1.
I'm just real pleased with our effort tonight. When you play a team like that, they are going to force you into a lot of turnovers and they are going to force you to do things you don't normally do, or typically do, our want to do. A couple of weeks ago, a game like this might have hurt us a little bit.
It just proves to a lot people that you worked hard and you've done things the correct way.
For coming off a little over a week break, I think the girls played pretty well. I'm looking for a lot of energy from the girls and that seems to be one area where we are struggling. Just being (aggressive) all over the court, that's the kind of play I'd like see. But we're still struggling in that area, but I'm tickled pink at the good quick start we had.
I try not to brag on certain people, but man, what can I say? She's been my leader this year. She works hard in practice. She tries to get better every day. She does the little things extra to get better. When she's struggling, she finds a gym in the evening somewhere.
That was a big shot. We really needed somebody to step up so we could get over the hump -- because we tied it a couple of times before that -- and get the lead.
A sleep. They just weren't very physical, they weren't alive. They didn't get any loose balls and every time we turned around they (Bluff) were trying to double us and we didn't see the open people... they were just not with it. And that type of play will get you beat.
Offensively, we just really moved the ball much better the second half. And we're going to have to do more of that because I think Perryville or Ste. Gen, the winner of that game at district, I think will zone us. They've always played zone defenses.
