Missed layups and free throws killed us.  Still trying to figure out why she didn't have #3 in the lineup at the end.  Congrats on a great season.

Yes, P. Anderson.  That girl is a gamer...  And she is just a freshman.  I know we'll miss Ashlie, but with her and Dille coming back, we'll be just fine...

I like what we have coming back but we have to develop some bigs down low.  I know we have #32 coming back but Pearland had a couple of big girls that pretty much took Ashli out the game.

Soulja can tell you that I've been saying all season that missed free throws, layups and put backs would be the reason the don't make it to state and it showed it's ugly head last night.

I hate to second guess coaching on here when they won 35 games prior to this loss but that is what I said with about a minute to go last night.  I felt the 2 freshman (#3 & #32) should have been on the court with #15, #23 and #5.  #3 (2nd leading scorer for the year) was the only one really attacking the goal off the dribble and #32 is the best post presence besides #15.  All I can think is that they wanted to go with the upperclassmen leadership down the stretch. 

And Pearland's #2 went for 26 of their 40 points...

Yes #15 will be missed but I think it will make the team better because they relied on her so much in the middle that it hampered the other girls game in my opinion.

I agree, there will be no shortage of guards for us.  Besides the transfer from WB, #4 on JV, you could possibly see a starting 5 with no seniors next year.  The height is there also, just needs to be developed like you said.  I like #4 on the freshman team to be on varsity next year.  That young lady plays with so much energy and understands the game pretty good for a 14 year old post player.  All the pieces are there in my opinion for another 30 win season...

In fairness to #15, she hasn't been the same since she injured that thumb and had to wear that cast.  She couldn't grab the ball like she normally would for shots, passes and rebounds...
