The kids played well. They had a lot of effort and executed well. I'm very pleased with how we played.
effort ended good pleased
I was pleased with the kids' effort and we ended 2005 on a good note.
february floor good great job lauren moments picked playing pleased running team
Lauren Dennis is such a great passer and she picked her moments well. I thought we did a great job of running the floor and executed on the other end. I'm very pleased with where this team is and I think we're playing about as good as we can right now. In February that's about all you can ask.
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.
advantage certainly faster felt fork game size west
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.
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.
deal early great group lose successful
This group has been successful and we're going to lose a great deal of experience. It's too early to tell what will happen.
anytime battle early fall great hang lucky nice run shots third together
Anytime Ozark and Farmington get together it's going to be a battle and it was tonight. I thought we had some great shots early but they didn't fall and it didn't look like we were going to get anything going. But we had a nice run in the third and were able to hang on. We're lucky to get out of here with a win.
best girls great grove hole literally played second taken took
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.
conference easy fewer spot trip trips until winning
That No. 1 spot is big right now. It's not an easy trip down to Booneville, and winning the conference will give us a bye until the semifinals. The fewer trips we have to make to Booneville, the better.
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.
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.
beauty win
Right now, it's not a beauty contest. It's win and advance.
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.
