We've played well. Very well at times. It all starts with the work ethic we bring to the gym every day whether it's a game or practice. We work hard and we make sacrifices.

She was scoring a lot of points. She was getting offensive rebounds. She is a great player. But my five very good players should be able to beat a great player on a good team. I think we proved that tonight.

It was a great game. We had some foul trouble but we did a good job on the boards. We're pleased with the outcome.

I wouldn't want to play us [tonight]. We're going to be in a bad mood.

We were playing a team we had beaten twice, and King came out determined and ready to play. But we were able to snap out of it and eventually get things going.

For a point guard, it's an excellent accomplishment. She has been our leader and our best ball-handler. She also usually guards the other team's best player.

We knew we were going to have a good game. We knew it was going to be very competitive.

Nobody likes to lose. There were a lot of tears in that locker room after the loss; a lot of kicking of chairs. But I was glad to see they were upset. The fire's got to burn for us to reach our goal, which is to make it to state.

Our goal is a state championship. We keep things in perspective and we know we have work to do - but, yes, we expect to win the state championship.
