(Harper?s run) would have been a great thing if it was fully legal. It wasn?t, but the kids kept their heads up and they kept fighting. It?s just a matter of being consistent and pushing and believing in themselves.
Clark did an excellent job with his team. They took advantage of any breakdown on our part.
We told the kids not to (panic) because if you do, they're going to get further in the lead.
We played will in spurts. We have to a better job playing man-to-man defense. We didn't take advantage of getting to foul line when we were the bonus situations.
It has been frustrating at times this year, but I think these girls have leaned a lot about basketball and life. I am still so proud of my girls because they never quit and always gave me great effort. I wish my sophomores their best in future endeavors and if I can help them in any way I will do that.

It looked like we were going home, so maybe this was a shot in the arm for us.
These kids went 18-0 as eighth-graders at Merritt Middle School when I came back to Indianola. That told me we would have some talent down the road. They work together as a unit. That's the key to this team — and I think they can go a long way.
The philosophy is that these students need special, early attention in order to be ready for kindergarten and first grade. We want them, when they leave this program, to be at the same level as other students who have benefits and resources at home that they don't. Our goal is to equalize the playing field.
