I didn't feel like we were doing a good job on defense in the first half. We let them have open shots.

They're the biggest team, size-wise, that we've played and it showed in the first half, We didn't handle it well. You have to adjustyou can't let it get you down.

The team got together and decided to dedicate the state tournament to John. We will be wearing black armbands on our uniforms in his honor. This is such a tragedy. He touched all our lives with his writing. He will definitely be missed.

The second half, we started making our shots and picked up the defensive intensity.

It was a huge factor. She's an incredible player.

With a comeback like that against a good team like Plano West, that was huge. They're one of the best teams we've played.

We are just devastated by the loss and we will miss him greatly. The team got together and decided to dedicate the state tournament to John.

We pride ourselves on our defense. You should never have an off-night on defense.

I got on them a little harder during halftime tonight than on Thursday night. I told them that it was their championship to win.
