We're actually having practice today.

I told them after regulation to not give up, and keep playing hard. We didn't come here to lose.

We're very excited for the girls. They played really hard, and they never gave up. This game meant a lot to us, especially since we have 11 seniors, with nine going to states for the first time.

There's 22 practice days between [today] and our first game [Nov. 12]. You would like to lay the foundation, like you would with a house, and the success of your team depends on what you build those 22 practice days. Last year, we were never able to get after it because of those situations. I don't see that as an issue right now, cross your fingers.

We're going to have an easy practice (today), so basically, after the second quarter, that was our practice.

We had a lot of guys step up today. They've been working very hard in practice, and that's where you get better.
