The girls traveled to Poth Friday night, January 15th, into a packed house with a gym full of State Titles. Friday was the first time in the seven years I have coached for Lytle that we have played basketball in their gym. From the beginning emotions and energy were on display. The first quarter ended and it was 17-17, in the second quarter our defense took over and put us up 31-22 at the half. However, in the third and fourth the score bounced back and forth. We forced some outside shots that turned into some points for Poth in transition. With 11 seconds left in the game I used my last timeout. It is 54-53 and I told my 3 guards to play full court man-to-man defense and make it hard for them to get past half court so they have to rush a last second shot. I had confidence in our defense because that is why we are winning games. Poth had to rush down and did not get a good look at the basket and the buzzer sounds. We beat Poth for the second time 54-53. We made Poth turn the ball over 43 times with our press and had 23 steals. This game was defiantly a playoff game which will help us down the round in the post season. This takes the girls to 8-0 in District and gave us breathing room with the 1st place spot; we are also 15-5 for the season. Now we pray for continued health and injury free.
Lytle 54 – Poth 53
