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.

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.

We're going to have to take care of business. We've gone through the up and downs when these kids were freshman and sophomores, and improved on what we did last year. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable group, and this is where they can make their mark.

The kids played hard. This was a great opportunity for us to get some extended time for our bench, and they did well.

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.

This sport doesn't have judges where you score on style points. It's all about putting the ball in the basket. I thought our defense allowed us to be in a position to make a run in the second half.
