It would've been a tremendous win for us, but now we got two tough ones coming up and it won't be easy.

They've been our one and two since last year, and we need them to get back in shape. I thought Kristina was better off than Meagan, because her injury was a little worse, but both of them did a good job getting back into it.

We played well against Perquimans and against Pasquotank we just didn't take care of the ball. And that was because they were scrappy and even when they were in zone defense they were everywhere.

It was like the Bertie (County) game when we went 5-for-14, we got to make foul shots when you have a chance. We struggle with the pressure, but we had our chances.

She's (Strickland) come on so well defensively the last few games. She plays super defense, did a good job on the (Erica) Rivera (at Pasquotank County) girl and a good job up in Hickory, and she moves her feet well, and she hit some big shots.

We're playing well, and we're healthy and getting ready for Bertie, and we'll have to play a perfect game to win.

Their big girl was on Carly and it was tough on her, but she did a nice job of passing, and Brittany Strickland made some big shots. Hertford County beat Wilson Hunt and Rocky Mount, and their record doesn't show it, but they are a good team.

I think now they're starting to believe and it's not going to be easy at Red Springs. We'll have to make a trip Friday, and we went there last year, but we're confident we can get some things done.

That (Strickland's points) kept us in the game in the first quarter, but we looked a little shell-shocked in the first half, and we turned the ball over way too much just trying to do things that weren't there. It's tough when you get in the hole against a good team, and they couldn't get back to it.
