That No. 1 spot is big right now. It's not an easy trip down to Booneville, and winning the conference will give us a bye until the semifinals. The fewer trips we have to make to Booneville, the better.
Anytime Ozark and Farmington get together it's going to be a battle and it was tonight. I thought we had some great shots early but they didn't fall and it didn't look like we were going to get anything going. But we had a nice run in the third and were able to hang on. We're lucky to get out of here with a win.
The kids played well. They had a lot of effort and executed well. I'm very pleased with how we played.
Lauren Dennis is such a great passer and she picked her moments well. I thought we did a great job of running the floor and executed on the other end. I'm very pleased with where this team is and I think we're playing about as good as we can right now. In February that's about all you can ask.
We're different than we were earlier in the year. We relied on Lauren and Julie for practically all of our scoring. The other kids are starting to help us in the scoring column. With the other kids producing, it makes us tougher to defend as a group.
Mentally and physically we just were not into the game. We came out flat and I think we're a lot better than we showed. We played some great games this week but for whatever reason we didn't come to play tonight.
We wanted this game to be an up-and-down game. We felt like we were a little faster than West Fork overall, and they certainly have a size advantage over us.
This was a big game for us. This clinches the conference championship and allows us to be the No. 1 seed at the district tournament. There was a lot riding on this game and I thought our kids responded well.
Our kids played pretty well. Our press made a big difference. We got some big runs in it and we shot the ball much better. I thought it was a solid performance for us.
