 Hello and welcome to the Gary Stewart show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce joined once again by Stevenson headman's basketball coach Gary Stewart Coach a couple Mac games on Mac couple games on the road this past weekend. Let's start on Wednesday night with Sia You're very defensive battle But the end you know besides it may make a couple more plays and I'll pull out the victory I can't take us to that one a little bit and your team's effort. We executed Defensively really well not only the game ban, but our energy was great We had multiple efforts during a possession But credit my side as you as you put it so appropriately great they made plays down the stretch and We weren't able to get a stop when we needed and offensively I thought we had some good looks all night, but but we came up short Yeah, I just they just didn't see want to want to go down kind of similar to the last the previous game against Arcadia's a couple looks you got good looks just didn't go down for you guys And obviously when you're not shooting well, it's tough to tough to win basketball games. It is yeah And then Saturday you're a whiner another road game whiners been playing really well They just beat like homing You know you hung with them for stretches again, but you unfortunately, you know just the final result wasn't there But I think the final score also a little bit deceiving. Well, I didn't think we played particularly well in any area We had individuals that did played very well Keith Moody Yeah Cameron Harris Two guys that did come to mind that had good outings but We just never had to a flow offensively and and defensively We felt pretty good. Although they had 38 points at at halftime. We felt pretty good about limiting their threes and The second part of the first half we got back in transition and we out rebounded them in the first half So there were some pluses there second half Got completely away from what we were trying to do and We just didn't Stay disciplined and we we the ball stuck offensively. We took some really really tough shots some of those shots let out Led to some runouts on the other end All in all, I thought it was the worst half of basketball. We played all year Yeah, I saw obviously the transition numbers. I think they had like 20 something fast break points I'm sure a lot of that was transitioned off of you know, many poor shot selection things like that Yeah, typically when you see a number like that you go immediately to the turnovers But but we took a lot of really tough shots ill-advised shots early shots that were contested in the in the shot clock Now all in all I just felt like we We lost concentration in the second half and and whitener capitalized on that they're playing very good Basketball and and you can go forward to do that against anybody in our conference. Yeah, absolutely. All right Now you're back home for two games this week. I'm starting with hood on Wednesday night Let's give the message to team when they come in for practice today and you show them some of the film from Saturday well, I think they're keenly aware of the areas that we need to improve on and and We're gonna show them some things that we did really really well And we're gonna show them some things that we've got to get better and hurry at and it's no secret that When when the ball moves we're better offensively when it sticks and we don't have either man movement or ball movement That is to our detriment. Yeah, it's obviously tough to if you got one guy's a ball four guys stand around It's tough to get good shots of out of that. It is and then conversely We we played I thought very well Defensively against messiah and then give up way too many points against the whitener So we've got a we got to get back to grinding it out on both ends of the floor And that will be the message. All right, we'll coach. Thanks a lot for your time And we'll see you right here at Owens Middle School Museum for two games this week. Thank you, Greg for Gary Stewart I'm Greg Royce.
