All five starters are excellent ball-handlers. They know how to get into the lane and the others all know to get to a spot for a pass. |
For a lot of individuals it would've been over. She was not going to end her season on the bench. |
In this state tournament they came out a little apprehensive in each game. The style we play often gets us in foul trouble (so they pulled back). |
It's a huge weight off our shoulders to know we're going home with a trophy. Win or lose today, it was not going to detract from our season. But for my team, I know they wanted to trophy. |
That's just the heart of this team. They know defense and take pride in their defense. |
There's no days off now. |
These girls will not quit. The effort and competitiveness of this group has been outstanding. What I've been trying to convince them of is their season is not lost, and that they can still prove that they're one of the best teams White Swan has ever seen. |
This team doesn't know how to quit. They won't let anything ? anything ? stand in their way. |
This whole thing is real exciting for us. But we've seen the draw, now, and we know we're on the same side (bracket) with Colfax and White Pass. So now we'll do some studying and try to keep this thing going. |
We did exactly what I said not to do in the first half: Get in foul trouble. That takes our whole game away. |
When they extended their zone, the floor shrunk. It was like playing on an elementary school floor for us. |
With so many good teams here, to go home with a trophy is quite an accomplishment. |
