The defensive pressure we applied after halftime really helped us. And the good shots we got by going inside on offense wore them down.

Our defense at the end made the difference for us. To hold a team as good as Zillah to 34 points, that was a big effort.

We're always saying, 'Play to the last buzzer,' and it came down to that. Zillah's a great team and they bring a lot of pressure. It took a lot of heart for our kids to handle that.

I think people who haven't seen her play and only look at stats, don't have a true picture of her. Stats don't tell the whole story. We didn't have one go-to player. We had a balanced team. She could have scored a lot more point if it had been our main goal to go to her. She is very much a team player.

It wasn't so much that Melissa wasn't shooting well, we had a difficult time even getting the ball inside to her. Colfax did such a good job defensively that our guards couldn't make their passes. And no one else shot well, either.

We've been down a lot before, but we always managed to fight back. Our goal is to fight to the end of the game, and we did that. We just could come back on them.
