I was surprised. I honestly thought we would play either Western Harnett or Dudley. In my past experiences, we have always been paired with somebody farther west. |
I'm real honored to share (Coach-of-the Year honors) with Coach Thomas. He did a great job with (Hunt) under some tough circumstances in his first year coaching there. |
I'm very disappointed with our defensive effort tonight and we will definitely be working on that (Wednesday) in practice I assure you. |
I'm very happy for our seniors. This has been a very special group. All 10 of these young ladies, I love 'em dearly. They've been a pleasure to coach and this definitely will be a team I will always remember. |
In the second half, we really tried to slow it down and run our half-court offense. We're going to have to deal with that because we're not going to outrun everybody in the state. We're going to have be prepared to settle down. |
It started this summer. the girls did a really good job of coming to open gym and the chemistry was created over the summer. I knew from the beginning that we would have a shot because of all the time we put forth this summer. |
It starts with that. I'm hoping we'll finish that with one more win. |
It's been a family and we spend so much time together. Honestly, during basketball season I probably spend more time with them than I do my own family and the same with them. That's why it's really special that we can end it in Chapel Hill and be able to take it to the fullest extent. I would hate to be shorted a week with them. |
It's been a great year. All of the girls have been a joy to coach. |
It's been a lot of blood, sweat and tears to this point. It's a great, great way to end the season and I've said it before, this is the way these three should go out. They deserve every recognition and everything that's come to them because they've worked hard, been great leaders and we've beaten some very good teams to get to this point. |
Monique is a clutch player. She is very confident and capable, and she will be a tremendous basketball player by the time she leaves high school. |
Our post people are really going to have to work on their post defense because we have (Valentine and Little) we'll have to contend with. And we've just got to stay out of foul trouble and not try to block every shot and just play good, solid defense. |
Our seniors worked real hard this year to establish team chemistry. We will miss them very much. They gave us a lot of memories that we will always cherish. |
She's a little under the weather. She had a sore throat and people were trying to find her some cough drops and they finally found some. I didn't realize they had to go to Wal-Mart to get them, but they brought her a whole bag of 'em! |
She's probably the most complete player on the team. She can run our offense from the perimeter, or I can post her up in the paint. We're very fortunate to have her. |
