Kirk Cheney Quotations

We made our assault at the end. And we made it with free throws.

Jess has got to be the most improved player in the league. Starting from square one, she became a solid force for us by the end of the season.

(Starter Celeste) Comings had a 103 temperature last night.

That's the kind of ball I know is in them. The girls stepped it up and played with the intensity we've been wanting to play with all season.

We played some good team ball in the second quarter. We were finding the open person and weren't afraid to take the open shot.

We got to 22 points in a hurry, and then how many two-footers did we miss? It's all about a team effort, and who's going to step up. And we had some players do that for us tonight.

We still have a lot of things to do to come together to get to where we want to be. We need to move the ball better on offense. We try to do too much on our own sometimes, and we are holding the ball too long and giving the defense a chance.

We did a good job of protecting the lead from there. The girls haven't had a chance to play the slow-down game much, but we have worked on it a lot. They executed well, and that gave us some good looks.

Defense set the tone; it's what did it last night (Friday night in Roaring Fork's 45-35 win over Cedaredge) and tonight. Everyone I put on the floor took their man to the one-on-one and said 'I challenge you to beat me' and for the most part they (the Bulldogs) choked. It was awesome.

They are really improved. They have really come on at the end of the season. We are going to have to be tougher on post defense and pressure the guards so we don't give them that easy entry pass.

It was definitely a team effort. They all chipped in and contributed.

It's the kids that did it. It's nice to be honored, but if the kids aren't busting their butts and doing what you ask, then it doesn't mean anything. It's nice to be honored by your peers, but it is more of a tribute to the kids.

That really changes the complexion of a game, from winning it going away to letting them get back into it.

They came out gunning. I was really impressed with the way they played.

It's nice when you play a team that you dominate on the boards. A little bit of height helps. We hit the boards pretty decently.

At times, she's been soft inside, but she got tough tonight, and the girls did a good job of getting the ball to her.

The girls decided they're not quite done being league champs. They believe in themselves right now, and defensively they're willing to take on anyone.
