We're happy to get a win. The girls battled against a good team. These are the kind of games we need before the tournament. We got behind and came back. The girls now know they can do that.

We haven't won a regional here for 26 years. I think the girls are really ready and focused. They don't like to lose and if everything goes well, I don't think a trip to sectionals is out of the question.

Eleven of 12 girls scored and our starters only played three minutes in the second half. I think accepting the trophy before the game really excited the girls. I was really pleased with their intensity as we head into the playoffs next week.

It's not good for the girls to have to suffer through games like this. It's hard on them and it's hard on me.

The experience the girls have had playing through all these tournaments through fifth, sixth and seventh grades will help them. I've been involved with these girls since third, fourth grade. If I wasn't the coach, I was taking care of the paper work. Nine of the 10 girls played on the summer team. The girls are still growing up and learning as we go.

The girls are staying mentally focused through the entire match and refusing to let a couple bad points or games destroy their confidence.
