The learning curve during Lubbock Christian’s switch to a halfcourt defense wasn’t only for its players.
Eagles coach Brad Crow explained that it was a learning process for him also, one prompted by a 10-point loss in a high-scoring game to the Lubbock Titans earlier this season.
“I realized, ‘OK, we’re going to be a different team,’” Crow said. “We’re not going to be able to press and run, the things we wanted to do. We’ve really emphasized the halfcourt defense and really try to point out their scorers and shut them down.”
