Last year we turned things around by going 17-7, but got bumped out short of state. It's so great to see this group of girls climb the mountain this year. We are a team to be contended with, and we are excited to be going to state. |
Maybe we got through some of the nervousness. But I thought my girls played defense the way we have all year. |
Of all the teams I've coached, I don't think I've had a team that is this great. |
Of all the teams I've coached, they played a second half as well as I have ever seen on both ends. |
Our defense was spectacular tonight. It just keeps getting stronger. |
Palo played huge for us. She took great care of the ball and continues to lead our team. |
She's a pretty heady girl and pretty determined. I thought she would get the shot off in time; I just was hoping it would go in. |
She's just got this way about her, this competitiveness about her that allows her to perform well when the game's on the line. Those are the sort of intangibles that it is hard to recognize until you start seeing them day in and day out. |
That carries over. The mere fact that we haven't been in the Dome is irrelevant. We've been in some big games and ... with those three, I don't think we'll be intimidated by the atmosphere. |
We came out clicking on all cylinders. We probably played our best game of the year. |
We did everything we could, and that little girl still got 21. |
We have trouble with Skyline switching man-to-man, and I don't know why. |
We really responded in clutch time and made big, big free throws down the stretch. |
We're a great basketball team, and they thumped us pretty good. I think that's the team that's going to win the state championship. |
You better get out with your running shoes, or you're going to have a long night trying to chase her down. Every girl on our team knows that and they have trouble getting out and stopping her in practice. |
