All of our success was because of our players, and it all started in the summer. We decided that if we wanted to be a winning program, we needed to put it all together and do all the little things, and we started doing things the right way in the summer. |
I've seen them enough through scouting, and I think we match up fairly well with them. They may be a little bit bigger than us, but we'll try to neutralize that as much as possible. |
Our kids haven't been in this type of game in a long time. They were nervous, anxious, excited, all of the above. It took us a quarter and a half to settle down. We finally started doing what we practice. |
Our strength is inside, but when those other girls are hitting shots like that it make us pretty tough to beat. You can't just stop one of us, you have to stop all of us. |
That's a little worrisome, but we'll talk about it for the next three days and instill in their minds that it's just another game. |
Those two are good (players), but getting everybody else working hard is what's really made this team better. Now it's a total team effort for us every night. |
When you get to this point in the season it's usually one tough game after another. We'll just go out and give it our best shot. The whole region seems to be wide open. |
