It seemed like every time we got something going they had an answer.

Probably her most complete game she's played in her four years. The only thing she didn't do tonight was sweep the floor at halftime.
basketball flew good heck high kim radar school travel
It's a win-win situation. They're getting a heck of a player. I think Kim flew under the radar because she opted not to play travel basketball and play with her high school team. She didn't get a lot of exposure, but if you're good enough, they'll find you.

basketball coach decided diego eight good guess hard left liked ohio program san top weather
San Diego isn't a hard place to want to go to school. It's a good school. Their basketball program has been down lately, but eight years ago they were a top 25 team. Their coach left to go coach her alma mater at Ohio State. I guess she decided she liked the weather better in San Diego and now she's back.

Napa had five girls on the floor that could score and score from anywhere. It makes that team very tough to defend.

Every team loses quality players. It's how you can take that next group coming up and mold them together to get them to play together.

We have to play more inspired basketball. We need it from everybody, not just a couple players. It's not like we're 3-18 and trying to get the season over with. We have a lot to play for.

We want to do what we do and they want to do what they do. It may come down to who can push their will on the other one.

We talked about other people stepping up. That was a huge 3. They were double-teaming Kim, so somebody had to be open and she found her.

With her talent and her academics, it was only a matter of time for Kim.
