The kids played hard. This was a great opportunity for us to get some extended time for our bench, and they did well.

The biggest key was the determination of the kids. You don't need to say much to them. They know when they're not playing well. We just picked up the pace.

We're going to have to take care of business. We've gone through the up and downs when these kids were freshman and sophomores, and improved on what we did last year. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable group, and this is where they can make their mark.

Boy, the kids came out with a lot of energy and passed the ball extremely well. The bottom line is the scoreboard is more important to these kids than the scorebook.

We expect Tuesday to be a special night because Rapids always plays us well. We were able to keep the lead in the conference. We need to keep playing one game at a time.

Sarah was one of the premier shooters in the conference, if not the entire state. With Jessica, her stats don't lie. She does a lot of things really well and gave us a great post presence.
