Any time you hold a team to seven points in a half, it says your pressure is probably working. |
I always feel confident in my team. Any time we step on the court, I'm confident we can compete with anybody. The most important thing is that we play hard. |
I think we proved we can play with anybody in the state. |
I think we're going to leave the state tournament today with a better idea of what it takes to win state. You have to play all 32 minutes. |
I thought we did a lot of good things. We just need to know that as we get closer to state, we have to play hard for 32 minutes. Tonight, 24 (minutes) wasn't good enough. |
I was recruiting through the halls. Now we have girls who are dedicated and want to get better. These girls worked hard and deserve everything they get. |
It seemed every time Mount Tahoma would cut the lead to three or cut it to one, we'd get the ball in her hands and she'd hit a real tough shot. It really stopped their momentum on several occasions in the fourth quarter. |
It was a big monkey off our back to win our first district game. Now this sets us up for a shot at getting to state. This was a big win and hopefully we can keep it going. |
It will be a good measuring stick to see how we shape up against some of the state's other best teams. |
It's hard to keep a great player down for the whole game. She's a big-time player, and she hit a big shot. |
Jess has the potential to be something really special. |
Leader No. 1 is Courtney. In second, you have Lindsey. She gets fired up in games. She expresses herself and her teammates respond. |
Megan had her best game of the year. We've been working a lot with her to finish shots and go up strong, and tonight it seemed like she was really attacking that rim. |
My young kids play with so much confidence and poise that they don't seem like freshmen any more. |
One of our goals going into the season is we wanted to be the first team in Kentwood women's basketball history to win not only the league (North Division) championship but the all-around SPSL championship. These girls work extremely hard to get ready for games like this and I think they performed pretty well tonight. |
