This is the best year, by far, of my basketball career. I can't ask for anything better, coming in with a new coach and all these awesome teammates. It doesn't feel any better than this.

These girls -- and we said this in the locker room -- they made our senior year. I didn't think it'd be quite this fun, but I've had an amazing time. Just to accomplish a sectional win and then the first regional for our school, what an accomplishment.

At least we know what we're getting ourselves into. We're not coming in cold and don't know who we need to guard and what we need to do. Now we have a feel for what they are so we can get ready for them and adjust.

It makes it a lot easier than when people are bumping heads. You don't have that here. You have one big team family.
