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.
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.
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.
emily game hit mentor timing
Emily has been big for us in every game during the tournament. She hit the big threes, but it was more the timing with those she hit back-to-back in the Mentor game.
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.
hope played team time
We are a much better team than the first time (we played Stow). I hope that will show through.

That's the kind of effort we needed from her. She was solid on the boards and brought some good energy off the bench.
anybody decided match occasion rose step
I think she decided to step up. When she rose to the occasion we didn't have anybody who could step up (and match her).
aggressive ball second
We were more aggressive on the ball in the second half. In the first half, we let them feel comfortable and they were able to make some shots.
force quick shots
We were able to force them into some quick shots and some travels.
allowed conducive depth gas hoped runs style tempo wear
We hoped that our depth would wear them down. The way we were able to sub allowed us to have more gas at the end. Our tempo and our style are conducive to runs like that.
