left minutes playing point took
About 3 minutes left I took a timeout and I just told them that we have to get back to playing as a team. I think they took it to heart...they know what got us here and from that point on we took control.

We couldn't ask for much more. We hung right with them. We took a took a good team to overtime and just didn't get it done.

I'm tired. I feel like I played out there tonight.
determined feeling last left losing mind reinforced remembered talked tonight year
I know that was in the back of these kids' minds. We talked about it when we went out tonight and reinforced it at halftime. We remembered the feeling of losing last year and we didn't want to have that same feeling when we left this place tonight. They were very determined and set their mind to it.

I'm really proud of their effort. To take the Division 1 fifth-ranked team to overtime without your starting point guard, I'm pleased with that.

It was a good ball game. You want to head into the tournament playing good basketball. I thought we played well tonight.

This was like a mini-tournament for us. We knew that each game was going to be bigger than the previous one if we kept winning.

Ellie went to the basket hard (all weekend). She was hungry. I think she wanted this state title more than anything. She did a great job.

Ellie's an amazing athlete and an outstanding individual. The kids look to her because she's got that state experience in other sports. She's been an amazing kid at Monroe and it's tough to see her leave.

When you make shots, it's a pretty easy game.

Everybody stepped up tonight. You hope to get those performances from your key players in big games.
