Quotes by Zach Keene
They were two special leaders. I couldn't ask for a better situation coming in for my first year and having two outstanding leaders both on and off the floor. The kids looked to them as our motivational leaders. They are the nicest girls you can have, but they are extremely hard workers and John Wood picked up two extremely good players.
I've got to give credit to coach (Jim) Cole and the West Central Heat. It's tough to be a first-year consolidation and make it as far as they did. They went through state-ranked teams and played some great basketball to get to this point.
A lot of people didn't think we'd get here. But we believed from day one that we could get here. ... We did make the top (title) game like we wanted to, but I'm so proud that we did bring home a third place trophy. There's only two teams that finish out with a win and we're one of them.
Once we got relaxed a little bit, we started playing our style of up-tempo basketball. Shots started to fall and it gave us some confidence.
We weren't ready to play at the start. I've got to give a lot of credit to North Fulton. They're an outstanding ball club and they're well-coached. They're a good basketball team.
We got a lot out of this tournament. We got a look at some teams we'll see down the road. We got to play some great basketball teams that we normally don't get to see that are state-ranked.
We were flat. I think nerves had a lot to do with it. This was a big game for us. ... No matter how many times these girls have been here before, it's nerve-wracking. We came out a little hesitant, a little shaky. But I thought we overcame that and did a great job.
We were focused. We came out with a mission that we wanted to take their crowd out of the game - make them a non-factor.
We didn't feel like we could get a whole lot of steals, but we wanted to force the issue and try to make conditioning a factor.
We came out a little timid, a little tentative. But (against Flanagan) we came out and told (the girls) to relax, have fun and put up your shots. If you miss 12 in a row, put up another one.
