best defense defensive help offense sacrificed
Best at the defensive end, that was the difference. She sacrificed her offense to concentrate on defense to help us get this win.

It's a fantastic feeling. I would have never imagined when I took this program over two years ago that we'd be this far.

I told the girls before the game, 'It stops right here. We played excellent in all areas tonight.
chance character good heart hung move played shown state team teams tournament win
It's the way this team has played all year. You know, they've hung in there and shown a lot of heart and a lot of character and it wasn't a pretty win for us, but in the state tournament all of these teams are good and we get a chance to move on.
automatic call
I used to call her AT -- automatic turnover.
defense keeps
Our defense was spectacular tonight. It just keeps getting stronger.
girl heady hoping shot
She's a pretty heady girl and pretty determined. I thought she would get the shot off in time; I just was hoping it would go in.
hard perform recognize seeing sort start until
She's just got this way about her, this competitiveness about her that allows her to perform well when the game's on the line. Those are the sort of intangibles that it is hard to recognize until you start seeing them day in and day out.
defense girls maybe played
Maybe we got through some of the nervousness. But I thought my girls played defense the way we have all year.
both half played second seen teams
Of all the teams I've coached, they played a second half as well as I have ever seen on both ends.
teams
Of all the teams I've coached, I don't think I've had a team that is this great.
bumped climb excited girls great group last mountain short team turned year
Last year we turned things around by going 17-7, but got bumped out short of state. It's so great to see this group of girls climb the mountain this year. We are a team to be contended with, and we are excited to be going to state.
tested
If anything has tested us this year, it's been a big team.
course girls played time
Heck, I thought my girls played defensively the way they have all year. Of course I feel like every time we give up a hoop I'm not happy, but, when it's all said and done, it's all good.
