This is a classic David and Goliath match up. We've played three good quarters each time and then we'll have a breakdown in a quarter. We'll play poorly for a two or three-minute spurt, and we can't recover.

We have a small lineup and we live and die by the 3. We weren't able to hit enough of them tonight.

We couldn't overcome their size advantage. We couldn't control the boards on either side. We only got one shot on our end and they had several second-chance points on their end.

We just want to keep winning and move on. I'm not at all interested in being the last team standing in the county; I want to be the last one standing in the state.

I stressed to my team that they had to play 32 minutes. Against a good team like [St. Pete Catholic], you can't have breakdowns. Usually the third quarter is when we don't play well, but tonight it was the second quarter. That was the difference in the game.

I told the girls that Tampa Catholic always comes to play in the postseason no matter what we did against them in the regular season. I wanted to remind them of what happened two years ago. It was the same situation.

It says a lot about our district that we have two teams playing in the region final.

That really is a tough place to play. The gym is dark and the student body packs the stands. It's like a madhouse in there. We need our fans to come out and offset some of that.

172

We like getting away. There's no pressure for us on the road.
