We could have landed a knockout punch right then and there. But they went on a run and they kept it pretty close the rest of the game.

I've only seen her with her hair down once - at our banquet. Otherwise, her hair's back. She walked into our banquet and I was like, 'Who are you?' She's just a basketball junkie.

I wouldn't consider it our best offensive movement of the ball, but we did a nice job. Tiffany was feeling it. She was nice and smooth and once it left her hands, you knew it was going in.

She's played against bigger kids all her life, 5-8 and 5-9 players. She's so physically strong and has such great instincts that 5-3 doesn't matter. Rae Lin has no fear, knows how to play the game and use her body.

She's a calming influence at times, she's a source of energy at other times.

This was a perfect game heading into the tournament. Union Grove came out to play and we needed to struggle and show that we could come back in the fourth quarter. We played a fantastic fourth quarter.

It was from that moment on when they realized how good they could be.

When we came back for that pep assembly (Sunday), I think Rae Lin had her picture taken with about 20 kids who were between third and eighth grade. They fell in love with her and they idolized her.
