The girls don't feel good about it. They know we need to put it behind us and concentrate on (tonight).

In the Calaveras game and this game, she's really stepped up. Sometimes it takes her awhile to get adjusted, but once she gets going, she's really starting to play well.

They kept hanging around and we couldn't close them out. I told the girls they better be ready. I think we might have overlooked them, but we still put the game away.

It was a playoff-type atmosphere. It was for first place, the gym was crowded, there was a lot of noise It was a big game, one we really wanted.

It's nice having her back. She was active inside and got some big rebounds. She's really improved as a shooter, probably because that's all she was able to do when she was hurt.

It was a really good game with good defense from both teams. We got out early and they just wouldn't go away.

It's just a desire to succeed. Some kids have it and some kids don't. It's the kind of thing you can't coach.

This is what we look forward to. This is how it should be.

You're always disappointed when you lose, but the girls played their hearts out. We told them to hold their heads high. Last year, we were shocked, but this year we were the underdogs. We had nothing to lose. The girls went and laid it all out on the line.

Defense has been our only consistent. Offensively, we score 70 in one game, then 29 in the next, it's been crazy. But our defense is always consistently tough and I'm real happy with that.
