The third quarter was a clinic. To hold the other team to no points, to only have two turnovers and outscore them 14-0, that's a textbook game. The defense was so good. There were several plays where we completely disrupted their offense.

We've been off to such slow starts, and we tried to make that a point of emphasis to our kids: we have to get off to quicker starts.

Defensively, I thought we played extremely hard, I'm very pleased with that.

We came up a little bit short, but we did do a lot of good things on the court. We missed some good looks, but our kids played extremely hard. When we play hard like this, we're going to put ourselves in position to win games.

I don't think we handled their zone very good. That zone did bother us a little bit. We didn't attack it as aggressive as we would have liked to. It's a learning process.

The kids are kind of excited about playing in their old home. The Civic Arena is strictly a basketball facility as opposed to the new multi-purpose facilities. These kids understand about Aberdeen basketball and its history. Some of their parents played in the arena.

There are things that you don't see on the stat sheet. Christina did a good job on defense. She's long and got long arms. She does a good job of stopping that entry pass. She needs to be a force for us to be successful on defense.

They just didn't give up. We're a good basketball team at the right part of the year. We're playing as hard as we have all season. We're playing as well as we have all season. I'm very happy with the effort of our kids.

We have to win a game so we're the home seed all the way through the district tournament.
