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