We came out a little timid, a little tentative. But (against Flanagan) we came out and told (the girls) to relax, have fun and put up your shots. If you miss 12 in a row, put up another one.

We were timid, tentative. And against T-Town, that spells trouble. We were actually pretty fortunate that we were as close as we were.

I've got to give credit to coach (Jim) Cole and the West Central Heat. It's tough to be a first-year consolidation and make it as far as they did. They went through state-ranked teams and played some great basketball to get to this point.

On the inbounds play, I told Rachel I would have bet my house that she would've hit that 3. I could just see it in her eyes.

The girls are enjoying the ride. I told them if you want keep the ride going, you can't underestimate anyone or look ahead.

I remember seeing her in "Beautiful Girls" and "The Professional" and being like, This girl is genius! This girl is ahead of her time. This girl is a prodigy.
