After the Hoover game, we wanted to set our team goals and one of them was to play Hoover on March 10.
exactly goals kidding march rest win
After that first game, we set our goals for the rest of the season. No kidding -- our goal was to play (North Canton) here on March 10. We had to win out. They had to win out. But here we are -- exactly where we wanted to be.
players rotation run three
They pretty much run a seven-man rotation and keep their three All-District players on the floor. If we let two or three (players) have big nights, it's going to be tough.
boards brought effort energy good needed solid
That's the kind of effort we needed from her. She was solid on the boards and brought some good energy off the bench.
aggressor backed became instead positive responding stepping
I think we backed down from them. They became the aggressor at that point, and instead of us responding in a positive way and stepping right back up with them, I think we kind of went into a shell.
added consistency demanding excited makeup mental takes
It takes the right mental makeup to play the point. It's a very demanding position. She has added more consistency to her game. I'm just excited to have her for two more years.
emily game hit mentor timing
Emily has been big for us in every game during the tournament. She hit the big threes, but it was more the timing with those she hit back-to-back in the Mentor game.
intensity step
You could see their intensity step up right there.
finally happens relax stage
In the first half, offensively and defensively we were really tight. Sometimes that happens on a big stage like this. So at halftime, I just told them to relax and just go out and play -- and finally we did.
accepting coaching evolved helped team throughout
They have been very accepting of me and my family, and it has evolved into a close-knit team and coaching staff. I really think that it has helped us throughout the tournament.
bottom far line took
The bottom line is Stow took it to us tonight. It showed us how far we need to go to get to where we want to be.
kids playing resilient time year
Our kids have been resilient all year long. We are really playing well at the right time of the season.

At the beginning of the year, there were a lot of question marks, but she is one of the biggest keys to our success.
asked davis definitely focus good job played
I thought defensively we played as well as I could've asked for. Our focus was definitely on Davis and we did a good job surrounding her.
