Bryce Swafford Quotations

It hurt not having Callie in there, but I have enough faith in our other players. As far as I'm concerned this is one of our best wins of the year.

I think this is going to be a great atmosphere even for non-basketball fans. We have two stellar teams with a chance to go head-to-head in a pivotal game. I'm sure it's going to be a packed house.

We jumped out to a lead and they never were able to cut into it. I think we did a good job of taking them out of what they wanted to do.

We played with a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm. Then in the fourth quarter we were able to get the future Lady Bulldogs some experience.

We were able to survive after we had a pretty good run on them in the first half. We were able to maintain and make our free throws down the stretch.

You have to be aware of her all the time. We stopped her from getting any type of rhythm and that's a credit to our defense.

We did a lot of things very well tonight. We clicked very well.

Defensively, we came in and did what we needed to do. And, we did a good of getting the ball into the post.

This is really exciting for the girls. And, any time you can come up to Jefferson City and beat them on their home floor, you have to be pleased. They will probably end up being state-ranked. We need to take what we did tonight and carry it over into the championship game.

They are big and physical. It should be a good game.

It's a good victory for us against a solid Lady Jays team. To come here and beat them on their floor is just a challenge in itself.

It was a defensive battle throughout. Our defense did a good job of shutting them down with some really tight man-to-man.

I'll bask in it a little bit. Twenty-four hours at most. Then I'll go back to looking over our future opponents, seeing if we can get an edge.

I just said here is what they are doing, here is what we have to do, and let's go do it. The biggest key was our defensive pressure got rolling. We turned it up a notch. We got two five second counts.

I think our emotions were running a little high. It was hard to focus even if it was our last game of the season. Plus, their zone gave us fits. We weren't able to knock down shots.

You can't stress free throws enough. Free throws almost always seem to play a pivotal role, and we have been on both ends of it all year. We shoot them in practice every day.
