We went to more of a motion offense. Jenny Jones did a great job posting inside and moving a lot better, and we had some key 3s from our outside shooters.

We took some risks on defense and that may have been why we rushed some things on offense. We got out of our offensive flow, but we won and that's what counts.

They are both very consistent offensively and defensively. They draw the toughest defensive assignments and still give us 10 to 12 points a game.

This year I am not sure it is a big deal because our district is so balanced. It's great to be No. 1, but now we have to play Danville at Danville and they have two of the best players in the 12th Region. But don't get me wrong. We are happy with this win.

We came out with a little more energy, a little more hop to our step.

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.
