I think we are relaxed and that is what we need to be. But the kids have worked hard for the last few days. People have asked me if we are ready, but its (the players) job to be ready for this weekend.

I hope we have the chance to play Eastern again. They are well deserving of the No. 1 seed but we really did not play well against them either time.

(Richardson) stepped up tonight and I can't put into words what she does. If every team had a kid like that, they would be much better and if it wasn't for Andrea Richardson we wouldn't be 23-4.

That wasn't pretty on either side. When you put a game plan together and it was there 20 percent of the time, it makes you think.

It makes you tear up a bit just to see that the kids can do something for you. There's one resident who knew that I did not have breakfast, lunch or dinner yesterday. At 10 at night, she was shoving crackers in my pocket telling me to keep my strength up as we were walking through here. I made her take them back, but they try and give back as well too.

Our players and staff learn more than the kids do.
