She is a good student, a good all-around kid. She will have to keep working hard to improve her quickness.

We saw them at (summer team camp), and I thought this group would make some noise. That team is not a fluke. At the end of the season, they became a monster. We are very, very fortunate.

Each year we have had a group of seniors to lead the others. This group is capable of stepping into that role next season.

We've had good balance this year. I think that's one of the reasons we've been so successful.

Richland worked the ball well and shot the ball well, especially early. They were patient, and you can't afford to give them an open look.

Scoring off our defense is a big thing. If we can do that, we've got a chance to do some things.
mental special
She's a special kid. She just has that mental toughness.
created figured good length shots
With Greenfield's pressure, length and size, we figured the only way to get good shots was to penetrate. Haley created some shots for us.
faced felt goal great means played win
It means a lot (to go back to the state). This has been our dream. Our goal has been to go back and to win it. We felt like we haven't played very well up there, but we've faced some great teams.

When they started hitting those 3s, I just wanted to crawl under the bench. I was looking for a trap door.
college
If she does (improve), I think she can play college basketball.
