defend earlier help julie kids lauren scoring starting tougher
We're different than we were earlier in the year. We relied on Lauren and Julie for practically all of our scoring. The other kids are starting to help us in the scoring column. With the other kids producing, it makes us tougher to defend as a group.
conference district game kids riding seed
This was a big game for us. This clinches the conference championship and allows us to be the No. 1 seed at the district tournament. There was a lot riding on this game and I thought our kids responded well.
came deep freeze games good kids lead line time won
When it came time for our kids to play to win, we came through and did a good job. We've won a lot of games at the line and we feel that's one of our strengths. When we can get the lead and put it in deep freeze late, we feel good about our chances.
certainly deserving good kids played ranked second state
They're ranked No. 2 in the state in all classifications, and they're certainly deserving of that, if not a little higher. They were very, very good today. Our kids played as well as we could have in the first half. We were right where I thought we wanted to be and then in the second half, we couldn't get anything going.
beat felt games kids knew lincoln nervous ready
I thought this was one of the better games that we've played. This was a big game for us. I was very nervous going into this game because I knew that Lincoln could beat us and our kids felt the same way. If we didn't come ready and weren't focused, we could be in trouble.

Prairie Grove literally took us to the hole with penetration the second quarter. I thought they played great the first half. But I told our girls that we had taken their best punch.
achieved certainly game group played seniors successful year
Our seniors have made it to this game every year, if not farther. This has been a successful group and I'm certainly disappointed for them that we didn't win, because we played so hard, but I could never be disappointed in this group. They've achieved so much this year and have done so much as a group, they'll always be special.
effort ended good pleased
I was pleased with the kids' effort and we ended 2005 on a good note.
beauty win
Right now, it's not a beauty contest. It's win and advance.
came flat games great mentally physically played reason week whatever
Mentally and physically we just were not into the game. We came out flat and I think we're a lot better than we showed. We played some great games this week but for whatever reason we didn't come to play tonight.

We wanted this game to be an up-and-down game. We felt like we were a little faster than West Fork overall, and they certainly have a size advantage over us.
ball credit deserves either field free line shoot throw
We didn't shoot the ball well from the field or the free throw line either one. Shiloh deserves a lot of credit they outplayed us.
