I'd say we turned the ball over more than we needed to, but I thought our defense was outstanding.

As a coach, I have a number of options (with the makeup of the team) and that's a credit to the players themselves.

They were taking some shots that were flying off the rim, and we didn't seem to be getting any of those. I think that was the difference. They chased down more balls than we did.

It's a heck of a feat. It seems like every year, the previous year's accomplishments don't mean anything to these girls. They want to get back there.

That's how tight our kids are. I'd like to walk to all our games, but we'd have to play here again.

They all have the green light and know the coaching staff has a tremendous amount of confidence in everyone that was out there. Even when they're not scoring, they're playing defense.

Bridget knows she has the green light from outside. She did an outstanding job.

We knew that they had 3-point shooters so if they started hitting threes it would be a different game. We were up 15 at halftime but we weren't comfortable because this team was here for a reason and, if they hit some threes, it could be a different game.

We're not even thinking about the state playoffs yet. We're just focusing on the WPIAL playoffs.

Rebounding is all about will. At halftime, I challenged our kids' will.
