I figured that would be a tough game, but we had a good night and she had a good night.
That's what she's in there to do. She's only an 11th-grader, and since we lose four senior starters she'll be playing a lot next year. The more I can get her in, the better off we'll be.
We were going to guard, hold them to one shot and not turn the ball over, which we didn't always do.
I did the same thing ? tell them to work for a good shot ? and I think we're getting better at that.
If I said it was mind-boggling it would make a good story, but it wouldn't be truthful. She didn't make a whole bunch of extraordinary shots. We have plays that set her up for short shots. The kids fed her, and she was happy to receive.
She's a great kid. If you talk to her for a while, you'll see she's a character. She speaks her mind; you never know what she's going to come up with.
We're improving every game. We've won five straight (titles), looking for No. 6. We can't afford to lose any more.
They're all capable. Every girl on this team can explode if they want to, but they go with their money and Turk is money.
She has to be one of the best, if not the best, that I've had in my 28 years coaching at Lincoln. I've had 11 girls go on to play Division I, Kristin could definitely be the 12th.
