finishing quick rushing turn
I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.
girls giving
The girls are responding. They are giving it their all.
girls happened history last locker nobody repeat room
I know we had a lot of girls in that locker room who didn't want history to repeat itself. Nobody said a lot about it but I know they didn't want to see a repeat of what happened last year.
fighting fights-and-fighting girls kept
My girls really wanted it. That's why they kept fighting and fighting.
expected game lie lies-and-lying next nobody proud state teams tonight year
They wanted it. I'm not going to lie to you. But we want to come back here next year and do this again. Nobody expected us to be here. It's like I told the girls. Only two teams in the state got to play in this game tonight and we were one of them. That's something to be proud of.
backing drive easy giving shots thinking
We were giving them easy shots because we were backing off a step, thinking they were going to drive to the basket.
half job keeping second third
We did a much better job in the second half. In the first half, they (Reno) got too many second and third shots. We did a much better job in the second half keeping them to one shot.
goes greatest plays team
When it comes to crunch-time, this team just goes out and plays its game. That's the greatest thing about them.
easy kept playing
Yes, but at least it came. That was important. We kept playing when it would have been easy to quit.
ahead learn year
This probably did come a year ahead of schedule. We're young. We're going to learn from this and get better.
