The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.

I didn't think we could get off to that good of a start.

(In the first half), I thought offensively we tried to rush some things and forced some things, instead of just letting things happen. We did a much better job in the second half, and defensively we played much better in the second half, too.

She likes to shoot or drive from the elbow.

After we got beat last year, the girls put a lot of time in and worked really hard to get back to this position. One of their goals all season was to get back to this position and take it one step further. It's an awesome feeling.

Not looking ahead, we're going in with the goal of bringing home a state championship. That's not an unrealistic goal.

They've worked really hard to get back to here and they want to do well. I think this is a very determined group.

They were a very good ball club, very physical and very aggressive. (Coach Mike Fischer) does a good job with his program and gets his girls to play hard. I know the last few games they've been playing very well, so I figured it would be a battle.

It's a great accomplishment for her. She's worked really hard to get where she's at.

They played very physical inside. They were not as tall as our girls but they were a little bit bigger, and they did a good job on the boards, too.
