balanced good
It's very good for us when we get this kind of balanced scoring.
attack blocked few half shots
Some shots didn't fall, but it's part of the game. We had a few shots blocked early, and I think that had an effect. It made us a little tentative the first half to attack the basket.
believed control heart passion played
They just never quit, and they always played with such passion and such heart. Those are the things we can control out there, and they really believed that when they played.
champion people state third
Only two teams, the third place and state champion, go out with a win. I think we surpassed what many people thought we could accomplish.
improved last played time
Sycamore was much improved from the last time we played them.
due execution good hold hurt lack offensive player quarter scoring start third
Candace was due to start scoring again. She's too good a player to hold down. Our lack of offensive execution especially in the third quarter hurt us.
conference locker matter
No matter what, now we have this conference championship. There's a lot of celebrating in there (the locker room).
combined defense key knew last norton olsen played talked time
I thought our defense was the key for us tonight. We talked about that before the game. We knew that was going to be the key for us. The last time we played them, (Kate) Norton and (Melissa) Olsen combined for 25 points.
bailey defense great hit taylor
Taylor and Bailey hit such important shots. Taylor's defense is amazing. She has no fear. She just went right at them and did a great job.
