These girls are an overall loose group and they have a lot of fun together. They work hard and play hard. We have seven seniors who are great leaders and the girls really enjoy being around each other.

We handled Watterson pretty well the first time, but they're much-improved and are very young.

As happy as we are to win district, we're not happy enough yet, I guess.

It feels very good (to have the CCL clinched). Last year we had to go to the wire with Ready. This year to get it with two games left in an eight-game season is great.

We've scouted them a few times. They have a lot of good athletes. They're in a tough league (City League-North Division). We drew a tough opponent.

This is a huge weight off our backs. We really thought we had a chance last year, and we promised to give it our best shot this time around.

We really feel at this point that we have as good a chance as anyone to win state.

Anytime you can finish undefeated in the CCL, you have to be happy. We had a little hiccup (in a 51-47 loss to Pickerington North on Feb. 4). We've kind of rededicated the season to the fundamentals and doing things that helped us become successful. We still don't feel like we've played our best ball.

It really doesn't matter who we play, all the teams are going to be good at this level. We just have to come out and play like we did (last Tuesday). We have to stay focused and play four quarters of basketball.
