As far as I'm concerned, she's the heart and soul of that team. |
Defense should always be there. You don't go into a defensive slump if you don't want to. |
I want us to have high goals. I want us to think we can reach them, too. |
I'm proud of the way our kids played. They played as hard as they could, and that's something we ask them to do all the time. |
It was kind of a slow-paced, defensive game the whole way through. We didn't have anybody who really stood out offensively, but we had seven players score. |
It's hard to play with that kind of an injury. |
It's something that's very breakable, if you just relax. (The Hawks) have got great athletes. They're not ranked No. 2 in the state for nothing. |
Kids are naturally going to react to that when it happens. You tend to want to pull up short and shoot 10-footers instead of 2-footers. |
Nobody panicked. We just played better in the second half. |
Our defense is what did it for us tonight. We talked about two things: creating turnovers and rebounding well. |
She'll look tough. She got her trophy, now we just need to win so we can get our trophy on Saturday. |
The kids always talk about respecting her. They know what kind of player she is. |
There's not an easy team on the board. I've always been happy to be fortunate enough to be up there and be involved in it. |
They're a good basketball team, and that's what were trying to do, play good teams. They came up big at the end. |
We finally stepped it up in overtime and contained them pretty well. |
