As soon as last year's game ended, I started thinking about the next year and getting back to state. We were all so focused as a team this year to win.

It feels good to be one of the players who helped get all of this started at Metro. When I come back and go to games, I can say, ?that's my team out there.

We try to get in their shorts on defense. Whoever we're playing, it doesn't matter who it is. We just get up on them, and they'll make the turnovers themselves. We don't have to do much; we don't even have to foul them. We're quick enough to get all the steals. They'll give it to us.

I felt like I had to do it. We really wanted this bad and the girls who were with us last year really wanted us to do it. I've been dreaming about winning state. I couldn't sleep the night before the game because that was all I could think about.
