We did a nice job of forcing them to turn the ball over, but several times we handed it right back to them. We shot real well from the free throw line, which had a big impact on getting another win against a team that had all week to prepare for us.

We played well at times, but did not knock down some shots at some crucial times in the ball game. Playing tough competition this time of year will hopefully pay off as we prepare for tournament time.

I would really like to express my appreciation to the community for getting behind these kids throughout the year and showing your support.

I think experience-wise I'll be able to tell them some things, what it's all about and what the atmosphere's like. Getting to state was a big goal for these kids though, they've talked about that '99 team, and they wanted to get back there. Hopefully we'll make some noise in Des Moines.

That's what we try to do. We definitely wanted to get after it and play tough defense, and tonight I think we got out and got going a little better than we have lately.

This was a great team effort on the kids' part. We had several different kids step up and do some nice things throughout the game.

We had opportunities to put the ball game away, but did not knock down our bunnies. We must also get better at understanding end-of-game situations.

We've been bringing in some of the varsity boys to simulate the size and quickness, and it's worked pretty well. It's an adjustment for our kids. They're very mature young ladies, and they understand we're bringing (the boys) in to make them better.

We struggled in the second quarter ... it hurts us a little bit with Kati Jo on the bench. But I thought we stepped up in the third. We talked a lot at halftime about boxing out better and not giving up rebounds, and I thought we did that.
