Burt will get her 20-25 points, but if we can control the other four and keep them down, I feel we have a good chance. |
I can't say enough of what we did offensively. |
I don't care if they get five kids off the playground, they will play us tough over here. Chad is a great coach and I knew he would have them ready. |
I thought we played real well. They came out in a box on us and it took us a quarter to get adjusted to it, but once we did, we started playing well. Once again, we won with our defense. |
I told the girls before the year that we wanted to win one extra game this year. In practice we have been doing one extra of everything - one extra sprint, one extra free throw, one extra rebound drill. We want to win one extra game. |
In the post, they are not as big as we are, so we may have an advantage in size and that might make her go zone against us. |
It does feel different this year. We are much more prepared on what we will be facing and what it feels like to play in a state championship game. |
It is hard to go undefeated, so we could benefit from it. Having the No. 1 ranking made everybody play us harder. We knew that, but now we realize it. |
It was just a feeling I had. It was a feeling, 'Hey now is the time to go to the 1-3-1.' It was not based off breaking down film and not based off seeing them. It was just a feeling I had. |
It was part of our offense and she happened to get a good look at it. They were concentrating more on Katie. She stepped up and made a big shot. |
It worked for the most part last year, so we will keep it the same. We will do the same things. We will practice some up there and let the girls have as much fun as possible yet also have them realize what they are up there for. |
Katie is a special player. She deserves everything she gets in praise and honors because of all of the work she has put in, not just this year, but in her career. It is an honor to coach her. I have been blessed. |
Last year we got ahead of ourselves and didn't control our emotions. We are focusing on the game and not what we are playing for. We are focusing on playing Sand Rock. |
She can shoot better and is more offensively balanced. |
She sees the floor so well. She is able to find the open person and make great passes which is where her assists come from. She always makes the right pass at the right time. |
