We couldn't have played much better. Everybody stepped it up. They've just gotten better and better and pulled each other along. They really played like a team.

We were just knocking on the door and we came so close to winning this thing. With all they had to overcome this year, it was a great job. Nobody expected this.

The thought of having to go against a 6-2 girl when my tallest is 5-9 is a little intimidating. From what I understand, she doesn't hit the ball really hard but she hits over the block. We'll have to make a few adjustments on defense. Lindsay Heiden (an Ida graduate) has been coming in so our girls can practice going against a 6-2 middle blocker.

Everybody played a lot and everybody played well.

She's the setter for the JV team and then we ask her to come up and take on an entirely different roll in a varsity tournament. She did a nice job all day.

She'd be a star on any other team.
