They had some shots, they just kind of weren't falling for them.

Blair Martineau

I thought she (Holtz) and number 24 (Johnson) were the difference in the game. They scored and rebounded and they were the difference -- no doubt about it. I thought we had some shots open, but unfortunately, they didn't fall.

John Rutter

We've had a lot problems scoring. When we make shots, we're competitive and we can beat some pretty good people. When we don't make shots, it's like this.

Dennis Rueter

We stuck through. With Jon making all his shots we knew we were going to have to withstand it, and my teammates and I were able to fight through at the end. This was just a great game, there isn't much else to say but that.

Jimmy Langhurst

Intensity was a big thing. Our whole team was intense and put forth a good effort. You put those two things together and add a couple made shots and that's really the difference in the game.

Matt Siegle

We played a great ball team. We had our shots in the end, but lost by three. The kids played hard, stepping up to the occasion. We had our chances at the end. The kids should be proud of themselves.

Harold Chitwood

I felt I could get open looks, that I could get my legs under the shot. And my shots were dropping.

Chelsea Wagner

They got 14 more shots because of our turnovers. They scored off our turnovers.

Mark Slonaker

Andrew played a heck of a game. He showed great leadership out there, handling the pressure and coming up with big shots.

Phil Mishler

This team will get better as guys stop waiting around for jump shots and instead being aggressive with the ball.

Paul Dudzinski

I can't complain, they're coming and I'm getting the bounces, ... I was getting shots earlier in the season, too, but I wasn't getting the bounces.

Tomas Holmstrom

That was a great shot, and, with her being a senior and playing like that the entire game, it is great to know we can still be out there and make some great shots like that.

Callie Orebo

This was a slow-paced game compared with what we played on Monday. We missed some shots that I don't think we should be missing at this point in the season ... (but) I liked some of the looks we had defensively.

Pam Munger

We needed all those foul shots for sure. We obviously came up with some clutch foul shooting down the stretch. Not only that, we overcame a big East Aurora crowd and we adjusted well to what the officials were calling.

Cal Saunders

We hit a lot of shots tonight. That's key for us. If we can make some perimeter shots we can be a pretty good team. We hit two or three in the first quarter that got us up big.

John Schnieders

It was a battle. You knew it was going to be a good game. They're an athletic, physical team and they make you earn every point. Michael Billiard stepped up and hit a bunch of big shots for us.

Kevin Cato

We were tight. We missed shots. We had the pressure and the kids knew it. But it took some courage on our kids' part (to come back). They had to dig deep, and they did.

Scott Gilmore

I've gained confidence. A lot of shots I would have passed up last year, I'm taking this year.

Anthony Morrow

I like to game plan against a defense, not a person. I look at a backup just like I do a starter. We're going to take the same amount of shots we would if their starters were in there.

Daunte Culpepper

I was trying to screen on the wing, come back to the block and seal up. I was getting the shots I was looking for, and they were falling.

Steve Walsh

We've got to get him some more shots because he's too good at shooting the ball for us not to do that.

Tim Parmeter

We did make our free throws. We went at them and made them foul us. We got the ball inside, we didn't shoot as well as we usually do, but we got some second shots.

Gary Turcott

They hit a couple big shots at the end, especially the big three at the end. That was a big difference in the game.

John James

I think his chances of sticking in the NBA are slim. If he wants to get to the NBA, Albany is the right place for him. He can definitely help us inside; he doesn't score a lot of points but he can really block shots.

Ray Richardson

We held them a long time without a basket. They rushed shots and took bad shots, which was what we wanted.

Jill Meiring

We were down by two with eight seconds left to go, but they made some foul shots and we couldn't convert.

Travis Paquet

Usually, it's the grab shots that I like. You really just have to have the camera at all times.

Dane Hansen

We didn't shoot well. We had 27 more shots, but we've got to do better to advance in this tournament.

Lane Lord

I knew we would eventually settle down because we were a bit tight in the beginning, but Stephen got some good shots and took them.

Randy Wright

We really played pretty good defense. They got hot their at the end. They hit some tough shots.

Brian Holsinger

It was hard. We make no excuses but we had no offense, we got into foul trouble and we did not get a lot of second shots.

Jennifer Hartshorn

No. 1, I think we gotta keep them off the glass. And we can't let them get open looks. You gotta contest shots. If we contest shots and control the boards, it's anybody's game.

Tom Souder

The philosophy of the game, they way we play here in Phoenix, it's really unselfish. A lot of passes, a lot of shots, a lot of up and down. The game is faster, too. When I'm on the court I'm able to read better and make passes to my teammates because I know where they're going to be.

Boris Diaw

Their quickness is really hard for us to match up with. We have to make shots and make sure that Justin stays involved in the game.

Todd Minney

Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.

Ben Hogan

We were a lot looser tonight than we were the last time we played them. We moved the ball well and got some good shots and made them. It was entirely different than that first game.

Benny Harris

If you look at the shooting, the fact that we got 70 shots was amazing. I think that's a sign that they believed they could make the shot and a good majority of them went in and out.

Agnus Berenato

We were aggressive with the ball, a little more confident with the ball and we just made some shots. It's an easy game when you make some shots.

Tony Shaver

He's very good. On offense, he has the ability to go outside. He's not stiff at all. He's able to make plays from up high. Defensively, he's just long. He has the ability to change shots if he's not blocking 'em. He played with a lot of energy.

Aaron Afflalo

I see three reasons why we lost. We did not hit the big shots when we needed them, we couldn't get any consecutive scores when we needed a run, and coach Monks didn't change defenses and go to the man pressure earlier in the fourth quarter.

Steve Monks

Lawrence Gilbert is a tremendous player inside and out. He creates mismatches inside but can still get the big shots.

Chester Smith

We were all lacking intensity. We had a gut check and we started feeding off each other for open shots.

Brad Meyer

We were fortunate enough to make enough free throws in the fourth quarter. We also missed some shots inside. The score was closer than it should have been.

Michael Hopkins

I noticed that a little bit. That's my potential. That's what I do: block shots and make an impact on the game.

Shagari Alleyne

The girls played hard all game. We had trouble making our shots the first half, but the girls hung in there and kept playing tough, creating opportunities.

Jon Graff

We saw how they struggled last night with their outside shots and we thought we could do something with it.

Arlan Scholl

We made the shots to win the game. They just had enough time to get one off.

Russ Crist

It's just one of those shots that felt good … We were lucky enough to make it.

Mark Nichols

That five-wood was one of the best shots I have ever hit.

Simon Dyson

I don't think we panicked [in the second half], we just weren't getting good shots. We're not used to being in that situation, and we didn't know what to do.

Chad Hettermann

We had a lot of open shots, some we didn't hit. But we hit some big ones in a stretch to get ahead.

Caroline Williams

Our guys have been pretty hot with those shots, ... Most teams are dropping off the points to cover down low so we're getting - and other teams are getting - better point opportunities to score goals.

Pat Quinn

I thought we did a good job of hitting some key shots. We hit some shots when we had to.

Alan Dunahee

I practice shooting pressure shots like that at the end of practice every day, ... I crossed over OSU and took a baseline jumper and it went in.

Salim Stoudamire

Tech plays good defense. They're one of the better three-point shooting defenses in the league. It wasn't a news flash that they could cover, but we felt like we were getting some good shots inside and out.

Tim Kirby

Charron pitched a great game for them. They had that one big hit and that was enough. We hit a few hard shots to the outfield but they made the catch.

Dave Doemel

That was a key. (Recently), I've learned how to block shots.

Dominik Mcfadden

This was just a good, old-fashioned tail kicking. We came out strong in the first half, then we started playing their game. They got us to force up shots and hurry our game.

Dan Starkey

We made some shots up high on her this time and so our offense was effective in the win.

Jack Canny

I'm hitting a lot of good shots and getting lots of good opportunities. When you give yourself enough chances, you're going to play well out here. It's a bonus knocking one in from the fairway on your first hole and getting off to a good start.

Troy Matteson

With the attention on Craig, if you move around you'll always get open shots.

Louis Hinnant

We had a tough time shutting down their offense. And we missed a lot of foul shots the first three quarters. When you do that it affects your offensive execution.

Rachael Moore

It was a funny kind of game. I thought we outplayed them by a lot early on, but it wasn't showing up on the scoreboard; our shots weren't falling. Still, we had a good lead at the half, a lead we gave away in the third.

Jim Holleran

We have really come together as a team, and Roger did a good job of finding the open man. Daniel (Thomason) made some huge shots, and others knocked down big shots for us as well.

Jonathon Slaughter

Sometimes we shot the ball pretty well, and sometimes we didn't. We got in a deep hole, and it's hard to come out of it. They dominated the boards in the first half, and al-ways seemed to have an answer when we came back and got closer. When you get the open shots and can't make them, it's tough to win.

Lynn Mcdonald

They made their shots and pushed the ball at us. They opened the game with a lot of 3-pointers and played terrific ball.

Mike Gottfried

There are always too many turnovers whenever we play. It just costs us too many offensive possessions. If we ever cut down on turnovers we'll be a pretty good team. I thought the key was we couldn't put the ball in the basket very well. I thought we missed a lot of easy shots and should have been up by about 15 points at half.

Nathan Drye

You'd have to research it, but I'm guessing that was a season-high for them. They made the shots. We did not.

Paul Alioto

To tell you the truth, I felt it in warm-ups. Sometimes in warm-ups you hit shots, but tonight just felt a little different. It felt like tonight might be the night.

Johnny Gray

When you score that little in a quarter, it's probably part defense and part you're missing some shots that you normally make. So we're not going to pound ourselves on the chest because I remember three or four they had right in a row at the basket over our midgets where the ball just happened to fall out. We try to play good defense yet we understand how good of an offensive team they are.

Jeff Van Gundy

I go down pretty well on every shot. I always will. It's percentages. I think five of those seven shots grazed me. It's a game of inches. If it happens the other way, it hits me and goes over the glass.

Phil Osaer

We had too many turnovers in the last quarter. Too many turnovers at the wrong time and too many missed shots.

Tony Falzarano

Both of us are going to have good shots in a couple races.

Chris Witty

Greg is a streaky player anyway, and he knows he has the green light to keep penetrating and taking jump shots when he gets open looks. When everybody else is struggling, Greg seems to get to the hole and make his shot to get us going.

Kelly Everhart

I wouldn't say I hit the ball well but I scrambled well and putted well and hit some good shots on the back nine and took my chances there, ... I'm feeling good. I would like to feel more comfortable with my tee-to-green game, but it is a nice problem to have.

Matthew King

All my shots were within probably five feet of the basket, so I really didn't have to do anything. I hadn't really played much basketball since the school year started, so it was nice to go out and just play for fun with no one taking the games too seriously.

Dan Friend

I thought our defense did much better this time. We didn't allow them to get as many open shots.

Maura Mchugh

They came at us and Erin made some nice saves in the first 20, but it was a barrage. When you have that many shots, they're bound to make one. And once they make one it kind of ruins it and we open the floodgates for them.

Nathan Drye

They were making those (3-point) shots with a hand in their faces.

Steve Arnold

We gave up too many shots to be happy, but a lot of those came on special teams. We were happy to get the points, and it's good to know the guys in here can rebound.

Robyn Regehr

What people don't see are the great shots Chris made during the week to get to the TV finals.

Steve Jaros

They kept a 10-point lead most of the game. We played a better game than we have. We knew we had to stay with them. They hit key shots when they needed to. But we're getting better.

Jeff Tarkowski

I was missing easy shots all night and every basket at that point was crucial.

Amy Heffner

We played really hard defensively and we were really focused tonight. We executed well offensively and took the shots we wanted. We played four solid quarters.

Charles Freet

Our shots weren't falling, but we weren't being patient and we were forcing a lot because time was running out. I think the adrenaline was pumping.

Jamie Mayne

We're missing a lot of easy shots, easy shots. I don't want to take anything away from [Slater], but I honestly thought we were just missing shots and not finishing.

Tina Burton

It looked like a mirror image of our boys' game, except we couldn't make shots late.

Larry Hoff

The first half was a little bit of a disappointment; they really took it to us. They were giving us shots inside, but we didn't convert and that really hurt us.

Doug Light

It's a huge thing for us. When he's on, it really gives us a confidence shot. Everybody on our team knows their job is going to be easier because he's hitting shots.

Brad Tingey

You can't make mistakes against good teams like Grand Junction. We had some dumb mistakes. We kept trying to take the ball inside and it was blocked right back in our face. You can't miss open shots and that's a big part of this game. We had a lot of open shots and we missed a lot of them.

John Mraule

We slowed the game down, got some stops and forced them to take long shots. We got some easy shots and just closed it out.

Mike Ingram

We got two shots this year. You take care of them like your children.

Donald Klingbeil

If I wasn't open, I just kicked it out to Willie. He hit the open shots.

Wayne Chism

Our shots just weren't going in. But we were still able to hold them to 28 points and only be down eight at the half.

Thomas Gardner

We weren't making shots. I was turning the ball over. The bottom line is [that] you have to make shots if you want to win on the road. We had some open looks, but they weren't going in.

Bryant Mcallister

We were chasing a rather big total (3rd ODI) and we thought the best way to get the runs was to be positive, not reckless but to play a few shots, set the bowlers off and hopefully things would be better for us.

Runako Morton

I was just getting some open shots. I was just taking the jump shot when I had it.

Matt Harpring

We never got any good looks. We took a lot of jump shots, but they were right in our face.

Rene Lafreniere

I could not be more proud of her. I knew she practiced those shots for a reason.

Brittany Johnson

During the four years I have coached Caitlin, I have seen no players with even close to her speed. She can control the ball, take it away from other players and stop impossible shots.

George Arroyo

We had open shots, we just didn't make them. They only scored 60 points, so they didn't kill us offensively. We just couldn't score against them.

Rick Pietri

We talk about it everyday. Whenever we get out of our guard play, we look to Derek and Rodney because they control what we do. It's not even about points. It's about controlling the boards, altering shots and all the things they do that you don't see in the stats. That's why we're successful.

Greg Smith

We're getting the ball to the right guys. They just have to start making shots.

Mike Garland

Jack's doing a fine job, and he should be left alone by all the political hacks that want to take shots at him.

Brett Hall

We played hard and we were aggressive. But the shots just didn't fall.

Mike Brookhart

We stayed within reach in the first half. In the second half we started putting the clamp down on them and the shots that they were hitting in the first half weren't falling in the second.

Shawn Marion

It was a matter of making good shots. We got good shots and they were a little short tonight.

Sean Coste

Not only did J.R. make shots, our kids gave him opportunities to make shots.

John Mcneley

We made some big 3-pointers and we win games when we shoot the ball well on the perimeter. We did a much better job boxing out in the second half and we were able to limit Plymouth's second shots. It's time to start taking care of business and we needed a win like this to build some confidence and get us ready to play well down the stretch.

Brian Baptiste

When we went to the half-court trap it bothered them and we picked up our defensive intensity. We were able to get some steals. We kept running the offense and got great shots, sometimes they just didn't fall for us but we had a good stretch at the end of the quarter.

Becky Carlson

What can I say? He shot the ball well. He was shooting wide-open shots. And when he shoots shots like that, they usually go in.

Jeff Kuckelman

We didn't have nearly as many shots as we've been getting in other games but we were pretty happy with our shot selection. When we did take shots, we got them on target and that's a big improvement from our last couple games.

Kenny Graham

We want to be big-time players, we want to make big-time shots.

Rob Williams

She had some big shots from that left side and hit some big free throws. Both her and Shannon (Eggers) hit some key free throws and in our losses, we didn't do that.

Terri Schumacher

We were getting great shots. They just weren't falling. Our kids are just so confident. They kept saying, This is what we need to do. Just keep doing this and we will be fine.

Stefanie Pemper

The second game was much easier than I expected. I made some adjustments to my play due to the draft and kept the shuttle low, playing a lot of net shots which troubled him.

Hafiz

That was a good game for us offensively, we scored 76 points and got 38 in both halves. They just had a more solid second half. They closed it out. We didn't hit the shots.

Chris Nicol

She likes to come in [to the net], dictate and make big shots. I gave her the opportunity to play like that.

Amelie Mauresmo

He is my idol. I try to imitate his body shots.

Abieser Santizo

We were told to leave by the police and we made our way off the field. I didn't think it (the shots) affected the game, because we were already ahead. I think it was more of a safety thing. Everything happened on the outside of the stadium.

Domanick Davis

We shot the ball extremely well in the first half. We were 8 of 14 from 3-point range and once we started making our perimeter jump shots that opened up our inside game for Fuller and Jones.

Tim Parrinello

The good thing is we won. The biggest problem with the girls is when we've hit bad shots, we pile it on instead of keeping it one bad shot.

Tommy Standefer

These great players get me open, and being able to knock down those shots just felt good. I think we're all comfortable in our roles and what they are. The team's kind of evolving as we go.

Luke Zeller

We've been living and dying with our defense and trying to get some shots. Our defense has got to be there for us, and it was really good today.

Nancy Winstel

We didn't shoot the ball really well. I think that was the difference in the game. If we would have knocked some shots down early in the game, I think we would have been a little closer.

Charlie Reppel

He hit some unbelievable shots. That's one of the best halves of basketball anybody's played against us this year.

Ben Braun

Like everyone else, they wanted to take Hope and Maria out of the game. I told the girls earlier today that someone is going to get open shots.

Bret Tuetken

I thought E.J. played an outstanding defensive game. He got some steals, knocked some passes away, changed some shots, rebounded the ball well and pushed it up the court nicely.

Mike Waldo

It was a really good game. Both teams had opportunities. Both teams had shots that hit the post. And both goalies made some big saves.

Chris Givens

We felt their weakness was outside shooting and one of their strengths was crashing the boards and rebounding, so we decided to play a sagging 2-3 and win or lose with it. Luckily their shots didn't fall and we rebounded very well.

Scott Horne

We didn't get too many shots because we were playing a man down for most of it. That's not exactly what you want to do, but we were able to do well defensively.

Neal Donohue

The seven shots are not representative. We created a lot of good opportunities, and I'm sure I'll go over each and every one tonight, but we just missed the net.

Bill Beard

That's just not being strong with the ball. They just guarded him and made him alter his shots, and he didn't take it right at them.

Perry Walters

We're a good skating team, but we need to identify some definitive goal scorers. In our last game (vs. C-C), we had 33 shots on net but only scored one goal. We need to do a better job of cracking the cage.

Dan Doyle

Tristan hit a couple shots in the first quarter, bang, bang, and then we stopped getting him the ball. We just sort of stopped getting the ball to our scorers. I just thought we didn't play a very intelligent game.

Tom Maurer

Any kid that goes 12-for-12 needs to have 20 shots instead of 12.

Tom Collen

We seem to be creating a lot of odd-man rushes. We're killing a penalty, but we seem to be jumping into the play and doing things like blocking shots to create a 2-on-1. We seem to be able to score and we're finishing those chances and I can't really explain why.

Matt Stajan

I told the girls to relax and take good shots once we had a lead. I think maybe we relaxed too much and quit attacking the basket.

Paul Alepra

In her first three years, she had a very low shooting percentage. This season she's scoring more than ever before and the number of shots she's taken has actually gone down.

Barry Blauvelt

One of our keys to the game was to make them beat us shooting 3s, and they did that. We saw them twice and they weren't doing it then. That's the long, short, and middle of it, and shots that went in stopped going in.

Brian Golub

Basically, the game came down to the fact that we weren't able to rebound and didn't get a lot of shots to fall.

Darin Green

They really packed it in on Catherine. They took a chance and left us open and we were able to hit some outside shots.

Jeff Tarkowski

We just couldn't make a shot. We talked about it before the game, we had to make shots. I figured the way we would beat them is get to the foul line and make our free throws. We were bouncing off those guys. They were bigger and stronger.

Greg Overstreet

We do not respond well to adversity right now. Hopefully we can get better about that; get a little bit tougher mentally. From a basketball standpoint, we just have to take better shots and hit them.

Kermit Davis

Our big shots weren't falling. And it seemed like every time we got a little momentum, (Ellensburg) answered back.

Luke Fowler

Guys hit their free throws down the stretch. We got a few key rebounds and they missed some shots.

Deon Thompson

We obviously need her to make points for us. She delivered. The things that she does for us are a lot bigger than knocking shots down.

Marsha Sharp

We had our lowest score for the whole year today; the team was really focusing on each shot. I saw some really good shots from my golfers, but I didn't know how it all added up until I saw the scoreboard.

Paula Smith

We were just a little outmatched. They had a more powerful team. They got more rebounds than us and put their shots back up. They're a quad-A school, and we're not, but we did OK.

Kevin Plasterer

He came out and made some shots against us. We've got to do a better job of guarding and a better job of finding people and we didn't do that tonight.

Dan Watson

It seems like every time we have a chance to blow people out we miss a couple of easy shots. Our defense was OK but our offense broke down way too early. The second half we kind of stood around a lot.

David Padgett

We shot the ball very poorly again. We broke the press but then turned the ball over or missed easy shots.

Maranda Brownson

I thought we had a hand in his face the whole game, but he still made some shots.

Steve Stoller

We were just moving the ball around. We got our team chemistry back. We were just hitting the open man and making the shots.

Patrick Thornhill

Walker hit crucial shots. She got everybody going. She ignited us offensively and defensively. We were able to find a groove and get focused.

Wendee Saintsing

I think we did a much better job of controlling the game in the second half. We were able to make some things happen with dribble penetration and get some nice shots.

Curt Lamb

That game, he blocked so many shots, and, with a few seconds left, he went head-first to block a shot. It was amazing. That can help more than scoring goals when you block shots like that. So maybe he's not scoring that much, but he's still doing a great job for us.

Tomas Surovy

We played hard and we contained Elliott, which is what we wanted to do. But we didn't hit shots from the field. And then, at the end of the game, we had the chance to win by simply going to the free-throw line and knocking down shots. I thought we put ourselves in a good position. We just didn't execute.

Marcus Thompson

Once you hit your first couple of shots and start feeling good, then it seems everything falls. I think the early success builds up to the later success.

Janese Banks

Defense to me was the key. I don't remember them getting too many open shots. I said we needed to play good defense and rebound and we did that.

Michael Kohs

We didn't really execute well offensively. The shots that were falling the other night weren't falling tonight. It just wasn't our night.

Tony Cordani

In the first two games, we went against all the principles that coaches taught us in practice. This time, we just did a better job of clamping down and making sure they didn't get a lot of open shots.

Levi Levine

Fortunately, this year the flu season is not off to an early start, and there is plenty of time for people to get their shots.

Dr. Julie Gerberding

Everyone is going to say 'I want to be state champ. You only get so many shots at the finals.

Travis Bull

This is the biggest swing game we have had all year. My shots weren't following [Saturday], but I had to find a way to help my team.

Josh Peppers

You got to love the kids heart. They were trying their guts out. The foul shots just didn't fall.

Rick Butler

The mosquitoes are horrible for one thing and there are dogs and cats everywhere, ... The dogs are vicious and hungry and roaming in packs. And at night I can hear the looters. I've heard gun shots and glass breaking.

Peggy Andrews

We did have a lot of shots. And that was the game plan, to just put them away as early as possible.

Dave Kruszewski

I played quite safe, especially after 12 holes when I had a couple of shots advantage but then Andrew played some great golf to catch up with me.

Mikael Lundberg

We battled back to about six and they went again on a run. It was a good game but they hit some big shots. I don't know how many they hit, but they hit enough.

Randy Steel

His skill level has improved because of his improved strength. Demetrius, he shoots it fairly well from 15-foot range, he's very effective around the basket and he's done a very good job defensively blocking shots.

John O'connell

We couldn't guard their big kid. Our inexperience in the post really hurt us, and that combined with our inability to make shots ... before you know it, we're down 20.

Jon Strebe

I am still trying to understand this game, ... I am still learning how to play golf. There are a lot of shots I still don't know. I am still trying to learn, and I think that's a good attitude to have.

Hale Irwin

I just try to do whatever I need to do, whatever coach asks me to do to help the team out. We definitely needed to hit a few shots to get going, and I was the one who happened to do that.

Katie Montgomery

We didn't get our draw controls [in the second half]. We rushed on the attacking and didn't work the defense over enough. We were generating the shots but just we were not finishing.

Kerri O'day

Morgan hit some big shots there for us early and (Lucas) Cooper also made a couple of threes to get us going in the first half. But overall we didn't shoot it that well and I expect us to shoot the ball better (today).

Randy Bishop

In the first half, we just got in too big of a hurry against the zone. In the second half, we did a much better job. We were patient, we moved the ball, we made some shots.

Brian Winters

Any night anyone can step up and make our shots. I'm glad they stepped up and hopefully we'll get more guys to step up this week.

Nedim Pajevic

Every one of us had the confidence we could come back. It was just a matter of some shots falling that hadn't been falling all night.

Brent Wood

I'm especially happy with the second half. We did a great job of creating opportunities and getting shots. Despite the score, we played our best game of the year.

Matt Marcos

In the first half, he was settling for jump shots. We didn't have Brandon down there (in a 59-53 overtime loss). We were determined to be just as aggressive with them (here). We wanted to play aggressively and put the officials in a position to call it.

Perry Watson

I'm not going to lie. We did those swimsuit shots one by one, and when the girls were coming back saying what they were doing, I was scared. I was shaking the whole time, because that's not me. I'm not a calendar girl. I didn't like getting my picture taken in fourth grade!

Becky Lucidi

We were trailing by 13 points when our center Brook Crane went down with an elbow injury. We rallied and got to within three points, 26-23, before we were forced to foul and they made their shots.

Mike Curtis

It's just a great feeling. I think we both played amazing tennis. He came up with some great shots on my match points, and all the important points he played really well. I'm really happy to get through this one.

Robin Soderling

It will come down to who hits some shots and rebounds the basketball. I don't think there's any secret to either of us as far as that goes.

Amy Ruley

He's like my brother. He can score points in bundles. He can rebound, block shots and he's just like me ? he can't play defense.

Shawn Taggart

We knew we had to settle down in the second half. We relaxed out there and started to hit some shots.

Cedrick Middleton

We did a good job. Those were good shots for us.

John Steinhilber

It was a great experience to play against him and I hope I will get another opportunity. I am not sure I played very well today as I had problems with my serve and missed a lot of shots when he was slicing to my backhand. But I played better than in the last two finals I lost. I enjoyed myself more.

Gael Monfils

Kersten is having a fine tournament. She's getting good looks at the basket and making her shots.

Jim Martin

We didn't run our offense very well in the first half. We forced shots. That first quarter has been a headache for us all year.

Mike Feagans

We could have gone out and contested more. If we put a hand up on half of those shots, they'll miss half of them.

Chris Hayes

She did a great job in goal, very confident. She saved some great shots.

Amber Smith

Rebounding is something I can do every night. You can't depend on you're offense every night because the shots aren't always going to fall. People underestimate me because of my size.

Marcus Grant

Coming out of halftime, Coach (Dana Addis of Copley) told us to play a little defense, and take good shots. I started to go to the hoop more, and that opened up the floor for my teammates.

Josh Williams

We were not strong with the ball. It seemed like we forced a lot of shots and they took advantage of that.

Isaac Hines

We've been focused on moving the ball in practice and try to get shots because most of the teams we play make us guard for 25 to 30 seconds. They get us tired, so it's reverse psychology. We want to do the same thing to them.

Wadale Williams

They were just killing us on the boards. They were getting three, maybe even four shots. We just have to regroup and come back ready to play Tuesday.

Lonnie Roberts

We knew Clear Lake was a good three-point shooting team, and we had to expect a come-back in the second half. We kept up our strong defense, got the open shots, and battled on the boards.

Coy Custer

We'll stay at 68 TB for a year or two, ... But as shots get more complex ... it's hard to tell.

Mike Thompson
