It's just like West. You know you're going to face a zone, and you better be ready to pass and shoot the ball.

We just had a terrible start. It's hard to say what happened. It was on their court, and they do have some good shooters. But at the same time there is no excuse for giving up 25 points in one quarter, and no excuse for one kid having four 3's in the first quarter.

I will give our kids credit for cutting the gap to eight. It was a great run, but unfortunately we didn't guard Mr. Davis. Sometime when you climb the mountain you lose your legs, and I think that's what happened to us.

Even after that hot start, he still broke us down too easily after that. If you don't play defense in this league that will happen. The good thing is that it's nothing that can't be corrected. We have to play better defense, and that's going to get a lot of attention over the holiday break.

I think we've achieved a lot already and going into the next few games we know what we can do. It's definitely a good thing to be up on the competition early on. We're aggressive and willing to try harder.

Instead of it being one of those easy wins, it was definitely one of those hard-earned wins we were more proud of.
