athletic game hall inside running slow stop team towers west
Towers is a very athletic team and we're going to have to slow down their inside game and keep them from running out on the break. They play a lot like West Hall and Paige Hanson so we know what to do, we just have to stop it.
box general girl good guard individual point
We've got to box out and our point guard has got to get back on defense. We've just got to play good general defense. How we want them to play each individual girl is different.

I expect them to crash the boards a lot. They play a mix of man-to-man and zone on defense.
along beat believed coming due expect impossible improve improved number passionate possibly season sneak stepped virtually
I didn't expect to be here. I believed that we could improve all season and possibly sneak in, which we did. But it's virtually impossible to beat a number one seed. They've just really improved and stepped up. They're coming along and that's due to hard, passionate work.

If our game plan is correct, we hope we can do the same thing, (tonight).

I'm real proud of the girls. They played real hard, with a lot of heart.
focused girls hard listened nine pages staff
I've got nine pages of notes. We've been working hard all week, my staff has been working hard, and (the players) listened to us -- that was the key. The girls focused and did everything we asked.
area families hard higher means work
It just means that the expectations are higher and they have a lot of hard work to do over the summer. Expectations will be higher, not only from me, but from the area and their families and the community.

I've been telling them to shoot the ball all season. I'm glad she took it.
