No one really had to say anything when we got down because there's an understanding. There's a tradition, and it continues.

All I was thinking was that this game wasn't slipping through our fingers.

Honestly, I just couldn't get anything going the last two games. I just wanted to be patient and let the game come to me, and it came to me. If I had to take every shot tonight, well, I would've taken every shot.

In my eyes, we blew this game. We never gave up, but in the end somebody's got to lose.

It means a lot because a lot of people, for a couple of years, I don't think I was even recognized as one of the top-10 best in the county. To be recognized as MVP shows I did work hard this summer to push my game.

We didn't come all this way for nothing. We weren't going down without a fight. We got on the boards, played good defense and Raven stepped up. She played like a senior.

North's got two players that are hard to guard man-to-man, so we got in that zone. It was working, so we stayed there.
