We told them that they picked the worst time of the year to play their worst half of the year. We told them that we would find something out about ourselves in the second half.

The fun part is how far they've come together and how far they still have to go. We have a lot of veteran kids and great athletes. This is a culmination of a three-year process to get here, but this group really brought in a lot when we started.

We weren't attacking. We had lanes to pass, and the next thing we know they are being aggressive. They were getting some steals.

What can you say about Allison? She played very well for us in the second half. She continues to prove what I think, that she's the best 2A point guard in the north.

The allure of the kind of blues that this town is known for is still here. If the crowd at one of these venues claps for me, that will be more satisfying than a venue in a large city.

Our seniors have been an absolute joy to coach. They have been the foundation for this program, taking us to a school-record in wins. They have accomplished something that no other Lady Bombers team has in the history of this team. They have a lot to be proud of.

Beating Judson at their place, when a lot of people were telling us that was the best team around, gave us a huge amount of confidence. And doing it again in the sectional was amazing. It took our best effort.

I thought in the second half she showed why she is the best point guard in 2A, or at least in the North.

I agree with growth, but it was done too fast, and I don't think the town has the finances to support it.
