She played with such heart today. But she's done that for us for four years.
anderson coach game great matt north open played shots tried valleys
North Valleys played very well. (Panthers coach) Matt (Murphy) had a great game plan. We did just enough to win. He tried to take (Caitlin) Crofts and (Caitlin) Anderson out of the game and did. We had some open shots that we didn't hit.

North Valleys played really well and took us out of some things. We were finally able to create some turnovers in the fourth quarter and pick up the pace a little.
against came game girls night north played regional seemed tough wednesday
Our first game (in the regional Wednesday night against North Valleys) was very nerve-wracking. That was a tough game for us. But (on Friday) the girls seemed a lot more relaxed. They just came out and played well and had some fun.
good
They are a pretty good combination out there.
defense key reed remember stopping whenever worry
Our defense was the key to this game. Whenever you play Reed you have to worry about stopping their 3-point shooters. But you also have to remember that they have Kayla (Williams) inside. They can give you a lot of problems.
close focus great hands successful
That's a worry. You have to focus on her. She's been so successful when she's close to the basket. She has a great feel for where she is. She has great hands and can score.
advantage girls happy north run took
I was real happy to see that. We didn't let up. We didn't go back on our heels. I just think that after North Valleys, we wanted to run so much and the girls just took advantage of that.
deserved happy last seems three
I'm so happy for these girls. It seems like they've been with me forever. But they really deserved this. They've been through a lot the last three years.
bishop
We get to play Bishop Gorman. But that's all right. I'll take that.
girls named tired
Yeah, the other girls (not named Caitlin) are getting a little tired of it.
ball basket free gets quickly throw
She catches the ball well and she gets to the basket very quickly and gets to the free throw line.
ask coming gets halfway needed starter three year
Megan had been a starter for three years but halfway through this year she's been coming off the bench. Megan gets in there for her defense. We really don't ask her to score. But, tonight, we needed it.
bit chip girls
No, not at all. I think our girls will go into this with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder.
