(Julius) was real smooth. She did a great job of focusing and knocking down some big shots for us. |
Believe it or not, yeah. They?re big and athletic and they?re very physical. |
Early on Blaire was great. We got some points on the board and Tuesday got hot in the second half. We made enough plays and got enough stops. |
I give our kids a lot of credit for coming up with that third quarter. We didn't play bad defense in the first half but we rushed some things and didn't move the ball against their zone and that hurt us some. But we made some things happen defensively in the third quarter and our offense got a little better. |
I know, obviously, everybody loves a winner but there's a lot of positive energy right now in both programs. Our kids are tight with each other and it's really a special year. Obviously, we want to keep it going as long as we can. I think '06 has a chance to be one of those special years for the girls and the boys. |
I love our kids. We kept urging them when were behind 'Don't let go, don't let go.' They kept fighting. Cabot was one play better than us but we'll always be able to live with the results because of the way we played in the fourth quarter. |
I probably knew in junior high that coaching was what I wanted to. It's really the only thing I saw myself doing. |
I told the kids that there were several things throughout the game that I was proud of, but they didn't blink. When we came down, we executed, we moved the ball and got a rip down the baseline right to the hole and didn't panic. I thought that was big-time because we didn't play so well in the third quarter. |
I'm going to enjoy this one. This is a big win. Fayetteville is a very good team. |
If you'd told us we'd win 23 games at the start of this year, we'd take that every day. It's been a great year for our community and our school and it's been so much fun to be a part of it. |
It didn't matter that she was undersized. Her desire to perform and achieve were big. |
It's so critical for us to get our mind right before we practice Sunday. Our players are hurting. You can look in their eyes and see that they're hurting, and it should be like that if you really care. But by lunchtime Saturday it's got to be gone. We've got to have a great day of preparation (Sunday) and have the right attitude. We're going to break down everything that went wrong (Friday) and give it to 'em and then close the book. |
Our kids are excited about next week but I don't think there's any chance our kids are looking past Bentonville. (Playing) anybody other than Bentonville, maybe they would. |
Our kids changed after that win. To beat that team, especially with the way we played the night before which we felt was pretty bad, it opened our eyes. We really took off from there. |
Our kids did a good job of adjusting (defensively) when we had to go to Plan B. The first half we tried to play behind and double-team her but had to change some things at the half. We went back to what we normally do and that's pressuring the ball. She had a tougher time in the second half scoring. In the first half it was so easy. |
