That's the type of game coach (Jeff) Walk likes to coach. They are real physical. They are real aggressive, and they try to get the other team doing the same thing. He does a good job with these girls over here. |
The good thing about Amanda is she might get a little taller, and she'll definitely going to get stronger and faster. And that's going to allow her to do a lot of things on the court. She's just going to become - what I think is one of the premier players, if she chooses to - one of the premier players in Southeast Missouri. |
We had a motto before the game, just basically coming into the game was let's live 'til tomorrow, find a way to get to tomorrow night and not be satisfied with getting there. But, from this point on, boy it's one game at a time. You can't look forward two or three games down the road. |
We jumped on them early and got them thinking about what we were doing instead of them thinking about what they should be doing. Portageville is a good team. They were the No. 3 seed at the Twin Rivers tournament, so overall we did a good job tonight. |
We played with a different level of desire, a different level of passion that I've been trying to preach all year long ... I don't mind turnovers, I don't mind mistakes, as long as we're doing it with as much heart as you can and as intense as you can. That was a big key for us (Saturday). |
You can just about guarantee that Taylor is going to get 18, 19 or 20 points a night. |
