I probably knew in junior high that coaching was what I wanted to. It's really the only thing I saw myself doing.

Size is not her (only) game. She can run, she can catch and she can score. She just plays of the top of you. It will be a unique challenge for us.
attendance decided entire good great kids led percent senior six summer team tone took weeks
The kids just decided they were going to be a really great team and they were really committed. The six weeks of our summer schedule, we had 100 percent attendance out of our entire senior class. That's just how they went about doing things. They just decided they were going to be good and it took off from there. They set a great tone and led by example.

break close critical eyes great lunchtime mind players practice saturday wrong
It's so critical for us to get our mind right before we practice Sunday. Our players are hurting. You can look in their eyes and see that they're hurting, and it should be like that if you really care. But by lunchtime Saturday it's got to be gone. We've got to have a great day of preparation (Sunday) and have the right attitude. We're going to break down everything that went wrong (Friday) and give it to 'em and then close the book.

They were pounding us on the glass, and we were turning the ball over like crazy.
ball came game hole kids moved proud rip several third throughout
I told the kids that there were several things throughout the game that I was proud of, but they didn't blink. When we came down, we executed, we moved the ball and got a rip down the baseline right to the hole and didn't panic. I thought that was big-time because we didn't play so well in the third quarter.

This is a neat day for our program and an awesome opportunity for her. She was our quarterback and it all started with her.

They have good players and their guards are as good as anybody's. Sandy always seems to get her kids to play hard. We never for a second underestimated then or thought they wouldn't be good. They'll be in the hunt for the playoffs.
