 Stevenson falls to Masiah here tonight at Owings Mills gymnasium Glen Clark with Stevenson guard Amani Sanders finished with 11 points in the loss Amani one of the things that really jumped out at me is it would have been easy for y'all to sort of just pack it in in the fourth quarter but you are still in there battling and defending and trying to work your way back where does that come from and how important is that for everyone to see that even in a game it's not going your way you still have to give that full effort I think one of the things we always focus on is our defensive intensity so even no matter how far we're down we still got to come out with intensity try to get the ball back try to get us our energy our energy comes from our defense so in order to get going offence we got to get stops on defense and we pride ourselves on that always getting in the passing lanes doubling staying up on the ball so that's something that we will do no matter what we always pride ourselves on that Amani this was obviously a really good team that you were facing tonight and that's part of the story what do you tell the girls moving forward is I know you're not thinking hey we forget this ever happened you want to learn from something like this well of course we always knew that this was gonna be a tough game we play them they always tough to us so we knew we had to come out strong no matter what we came out a little bit flat in the second half so that's where our defensive intensity had to be picked up again so we know that we're gonna see them again so we will be prepared to play them again and come back out strong and just keep keep the intensity at that's all that's all that it is you're now three and two in conference place so you're still in a good position in the conference but you head out on the road for a couple of games over the course the next week what do you need to improve upon as you hit the road we just gotta pay attention to the small things keep it up we started in the first half and then maybe a second half kind of fall off a little bit so we definitely got to keep the things going that we go through and practice and film through the first half and then carry them through the second half as well Amani thank you for taking the time for us best of luck moving forward thank you she's Amani Sanders I'm Glenn Clark for go mustangsports.com
