Having different players to step up is key for us. We have five players that on any given night can give us 20-plus points and that's what we need.

Ryan has done that for us all year. I call her our X-factor because she does all the dirty work. She gets crucial rebounds and just played big-time tonight.

We wanted to limit her touches. We didn't want her to get involved.

I didn't feel the pressure of being No. 1 in the pre-season, but the girls did and that's when we went through our little ups and downs. But they got refocused. Emotionally we were so intense tonight. These girls were ready to play tonight because they knew it was their last chance.

I can't even describe the feeling I'm feeling right now. The girls have worked so hard. We've had our ups and downs, but the girls finished strongly. We set a goal to win a state championship and we did it.

We set a goal to win a state championship and that's what we did. We were a little bit more physical than they were. We came ready to play tonight.
