Boy, the kids came out with a lot of energy and passed the ball extremely well. The bottom line is the scoreboard is more important to these kids than the scorebook. |
Braun took it upon herself when the game got close. She's a good player and you have to tip your hat to her. When it was a key situation, she took charge. |
Give North credit, they were tough under the basket and played great defense. We just never looked like we were comfortable tonight. |
I don't know if it's ever happened where a school has gotten three players on the first team in this conference. That just shows you what type of balance we had on this team, and I'm very pleased for all the kids. |
I think her biggest strength is her all-around game. She maybe doesn't score as much as other people think she should, but she is unselfish and does the little things to make us successful. |
I think we got a little more out of our post game tonight, but other than that it was a very similar game. It was a tough defensive game and Rapids played well. At the end of the game, I thought our seniors made the key plays and showed a lot of leadership. |
I thought the girls individually really picked up the slack with Katie out of the lineup. We showed a lot of intensity and played with enthusiasm. |
I was very pleased with what I saw today. We had some timely hitting and played good defense, and I think the kids are starting to gel as a group. |
It wasn't for a lack of trying to get the ball inside. |
Katie has great leadership ability, and did a great job of running our offense. |
Sarah was one of the premier shooters in the conference, if not the entire state. With Jessica, her stats don't lie. She does a lot of things really well and gave us a great post presence. |
She has a great attitude and work ethic, and I'm happy to see her get rewarded for that. We'd like to have her back another year, but she's going to do well at the next level. |
That double play was a huge point in the game and gave us a lot of momentum. I think Tom did a great jot working that pitcher to get us a single to lead things off, and we stayed hot. |
The biggest key was the determination of the kids. You don't need to say much to them. They know when they're not playing well. We just picked up the pace. |
The kids played hard. This was a great opportunity for us to get some extended time for our bench, and they did well. |
