It was almost a 'their-guy-against-our-guy' for a while, and it was kind of a fun basketball game to watch.

We feel we have a chance of doing something down there.

The two teams feed off each other. The girls will be down there two in a row and it's certainly nice to get the monkey off our back and get a chance to be a part of the tournament atmosphere.

Those two have been playing together since third grade. They are a lethal one-two punch. They set each other up well.

I can't be more proud of this group. They've worked very, very hard for this.

You don't win a state championship last year and lose once this year if you're not a good basketball team, and that's what Great Bend is. We just struggled to make shots and free throws, and that's been a bugaboo for us all year.
