It takes the right mental makeup to play the point. It's a very demanding position. She has added more consistency to her game. I'm just excited to have her for two more years.

It takes a special kind of kid and requires some mental toughness. Early in the year I was on her more than anyone else, but she responded like a champion.

It is sort of weird. In some ways, it feels like we've come full circle.

They pretty much run a seven-man rotation and keep their three All-District players on the floor. If we let two or three (players) have big nights, it's going to be tough.

They just lost her in transition. She had her feet set and had a quick release.

intensity step
You could see their intensity step up right there.
