The last two to three minutes of both halves we showed our poise and looked like a veteran team. We made better decisions down the stretch, and I think that was important, too.

The first time I actually saw her play was when she walked into open gym that summer before her freshman year. From the day she came in, I knew she had some God-given talent. There's no doubt she has changed the program.

We've got to take care of Grove City first. They're one of the most explosive teams we'll face. They've been putting up a lot of points. I know they (beat Westerville Central 74-61 last Friday).

I think we've put three people in double figures just about every game. or pretty darn close to it. You have to focus and key on Crystal, but now with kids who can shoot it and can rebound it, we're a tough team to defend.

It's a pretty good script. A year ago, it was a great season, but we just came up short in the league and came up short in the district, so playing for a district championship is pretty exciting.

I think that's the most wins (Coffman coach Mary Ann Grimes) has ever had for her program, and it would be fabulous for both of us if we were to play each other in the final. It would assure that a Dublin school is going to the sweet 16.

We're in uncharted waters now for (Scioto girls basketball). We've really focused on trying to play possession basketball. We preach that and we're working harder in practice. We should enjoy our seed, but we don't want to lose our edge.

It's the biggest win in school history. What more can I say? Before the game one of the coaches wrote 'Signature W' on the board. We told the girls this year there was no looking back. You talk about relief and jubilation. This was just glorious.

We have a pretty full head of steam right now. I think the Pickerington Central win will carry this group a long way. Any doubts that we might've had were completely erased that night.
