It was a team win. It was a great confidence-builder, going across the bridge and coming back champs.
She has an uncanny sense for beating people to a spot.
I want her [Thorn] to play defense all 90 feet and she's quick enough to do it and that's the type of game she plays. What she lacks in size, she makes up with her tenacity and her quickness and she uses it to her advantage defensively and offensively.
It's a compliment to our girls for the type of season we've had so far. I feel like we're deserving of it. We've worked really hard to get to this point. It's a real good feeling to see that the rest of the district places such high value on the season we've had.
That's just her [Mitchell] natural strength. So I can't wait to see her in college and they put her on a strength training program and how much stronger she's going to be.
She's a good ball-handler. She handles pressure. She sees the floor real well and gets the ball to the shooters where they want to get it. I have so much confidence when the ball's in her hands.
She's the epitome of a point guard already. That doesn't happen often (with a sophomore). She was groomed for this position.
Our girls got a little tired after that. We always tell them that practice should be hard and that games are the easy part. That's why we do it. We like to get up and down the floor a little bit and that showed [Friday night].
She took it over. She took advantage of her size inside. A good player will take advantage of what they give you, and she did.
