kids playing resilient time year
Our kids have been resilient all year long. We are really playing well at the right time of the season.
exactly goals kidding march rest win
After that first game, we set our goals for the rest of the season. No kidding -- our goal was to play (North Canton) here on March 10. We had to win out. They had to win out. But here we are -- exactly where we wanted to be.
anyone early kid mental requires special takes year
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.
ball bigger inside kids nice pound
They're a lot bigger than we are and have some nice big kids to pound the ball inside to.
beginning biggest keys question
At the beginning of the year, there were a lot of question marks, but she is one of the biggest keys to our success.
knows line refuses type
What can you say about Cassie that hasn't already been said? She knows what's on the line and she is type of person that refuses to quit.
keeping playing practice style talked
We talked (Friday) in practice about playing our style and keeping the tempo.
game great improved ready win
We weren't ready to win a game like that. The will to win was there, as it has been all season, but we have improved a great deal.
concerned following game great job kick knew liked
We were really concerned with their transition. We knew they liked to kick it up to (Amber) Witt and let her go. We did a great job of following the game plan.
hope played team time
We are a much better team than the first time (we played Stow). I hope that will show through.
asks bet knew loves questions time wonder
With a 10-year-old of my own who loves basketball, she asks me questions all the time that make me wonder how she knew that. I bet that was what Cassie was doing at her age.
credit cutting dreams heart imagined wildest win
I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that we would be cutting down the nets in my first season. It's a credit to our kids. Their passion, heart and willingness to win is incredible.
attention drawing focused mentor slowing
Mentor was focused on slowing her down. It would be different if she was drawing all that attention and wasn't so unselfish.
attention draw game hoping huge shots steps
Cassie is able to draw so much attention so every game someone else steps up and Brede was that one tonight. We were hoping someone would be on. She had some huge shots for us.
