We talk all the time to our kids that it shouldn't matter where you play. But it does.

We didn't jell right away, and in a lot of ways I was tougher on her than some of the kids that did leave the program. She was called on the carpet in a lot of areas, but she met those challenges head-on.

She's been through it. I admire her perseverance.

I felt like we outplayed them the first 15 minutes of the game.
