Even though we lost, the girls didn't quit. I'm proud of that.

Our girls felt sick after the last game against them. The girls said they wanted to get that bitter taste out.

This was our Super Bowl and the girls responded very well. And it was good that we made some key free throws down the stretch.

Then the crowd got into it. I was worried going in that the girls might be a little nervous with this atmosphere.

It seemed as though the momentum was starting to switch again, and I didn't want our girls to fall behind by anymore.

It's a fairly large difference, particularly when you consider that unlike differences across racial and ethnic groups, boys and girls are raised in the same households, so it's not so easy to explain the differences by their community, or their income level.
