It was a good match between two very good teams. That's volleyball. The momentum swings back and forth. When you've got two good teams that hate to lose . . . you're gonna fight like that.

I predict they win state. I'm certainly glad we're not (in the same classification) anymore, because I'd have a heart attack having to go through them to get to state.

I just felt for Lauren it is a better opportunity for her to go off, get away from home and have an opportunity to play immediately. I'm sitting here crying, but it is a happy cry, because she is like my own kid.
