free knock knows quick
She's real quick and she knows how to knock down her free throws.
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.
ball job nice second
I thought we did a nice job of pressuring the ball in the second half.
coached girls since sixth transition
I've coached a lot of these girls since they were in sixth grade. So they know me. I know them. The transition was real easy.
felt
I felt like there was a lid on the basket.
fun girls great
I'm having fun with it. I'm not going to lie. I like having my own team. And the girls are doing a great job.
easy gave last lay played time ups victory
I didn't want to give them any easy lay ups. We gave them too many easy lay ups the last time we played them (in a 62-58 Galena victory in December).
figure half took
It took us about a half before we could figure them out. But once we got a feel for them, we were OK.
against came forced game hard inside offense
Offense was the hard part against them. They are just so big. They wouldn't give us the 3-point shot, and that forced us to go inside where they have so much size. It came down to an inside game and we struggled.
kindness year
That's kind of how we've been all year at the line. We've been in and out all year.
