way to go Lady Panthers, congrats, yall deserved this game! Yall came in with a gameplan and really controlled the tempo of the entire game.
this was not the same lee team we saw last week, and I credit that to the Panther gameplan as well as the players and coaches. I would like to apologize for our student section behaving the way they did gtown, I am completely embarassed by that. I thought Montana Welcher played well for us tonight, and I wish her the best of luck in her future as she was our lone senior. I wondered why Tampa (who I thought did a great job this season) decided to put Kemper Snyder in for such a short amount of time (like 1 minute during crunch time) especially after she sunk two HUGE free throws, to put in a player that had really been struggling all game... there was probably some reasoning for it, but i liked the energy kemper brought late in the game. I thought Secret had a good game as well, and one of her 3 pointers was in NBA range. Page played a really disciplined andgood overall game, and that #14 is CLUTCH! Those post players down low for you guys have some really strong moves (some nba players should watch them to see how to play in the post). I think u r a really solid team and am amazed that u were only a 4 seed!
I had said all along that this felt a lot like football season with how people were becoming arrogant and cocky, and thinking u could just show up and win, and man it seemed like that was the vibe in the gym tonight... Maybe these kids and parents will learn to be more humble and start taking games 1 at a time!
You guys from Page are a real class act, and I was glad to meet some of the parents tonight. Congrats and best of luck in the tourney!
