I talked to (the team) before the game about assists and about being team players. We had two assists against Philomath (Friday, Jan. 20) and we had 14 assists against Y-C. We only had one in the fourth quarter and once again they caught up with us in the fourth quarter, so maybe that was the problem.

We played hard. We dug ourselves a hole - like we often do, but we stuck with it and didn't give up.

She's a good shooter, and she worked really hard this year. She did a really nice job of getting herself in position to score, and she's got a nice touch. She improved a lot on defense and did a good job on the boards.

Back when we had good rebounding teams we rarely got to 40 - 40 is a lot of rebounds.

A longer-term closure (of the container terminal) would have an impact on us.

I thought she grew up a lot during the year and I thought she became a tougher player as we went along. I thought she played more controlled as we went along. I thought she shot the ball better as we went along. I thought she defended better as we went along. I just thought she had a nice year.

Stephanie was starting to dominate the boards a little bit at the end there. And we were starting to get the ball into her (on offense) a little bit. She's learned a lot about playing the post, and she's going to learn more. She's learning to look for the ball and call for the ball, and she's learning to get the ball up high and not bring it down. She's been getting some really good shots.

Hats off to Taft, they played hard. They tried. They never gave up. The coaches at Taft are doing a nice job of keeping those kids squared away.
