(In the first half), I thought offensively we tried to rush some things and forced some things, instead of just letting things happen. We did a much better job in the second half, and defensively we played much better in the second half, too. |
After we got beat last year, the girls put a lot of time in and worked really hard to get back to this position. One of their goals all season was to get back to this position and take it one step further. It's an awesome feeling. |
Bailey did an outstanding job on her. She always had a hand in her face. |
Being the top-ranked team, everyone is always trying to knock you off. We have to be ready for that. But at this time, you should be ready for that. There are no easy games. Like I mentioned before, we're going to take one game at a time and see what happens, but we're excited about the opportunity in front of us. |
I didn't think we could get off to that good of a start. |
I don't know a lot about Southeast Webster, but I know the Jorgensen (Jennifer) girl is a good one. We'll have to find a way to contain her. |
If the stakes were the same as last year, that would be good. |
It's a great accomplishment for her. She's worked really hard to get where she's at. |
Last time we didn't do a very good job of shutting those (other) girls down. |
Not looking ahead, we're going in with the goal of bringing home a state championship. That's not an unrealistic goal. |
On a bigger court like (at Wells Fargo), hopefully we can get up and down the floor like we like to and make it an up-tempo game. That would be to our benefit. |
Our height was a big advantage against them. We (still) have to make sure that we get in good (rebounding) position, too. |
Rebounding and second chance opportunities were a big key for us. |
She likes to shoot or drive from the elbow. |
She's taken over the point guard spot and has done an excellent job of that. She's been one of our better defenders. |
