John Planamenta Quotations

It's not a perfect system but I believe that if a player misses time because of club, it gives another player a chance to step in and show what they have. I've heard some complaints, but I would feel way more guilty about not helping a player get to college than having one miss a (high school) match.

I really started to notice the number of players, and more importantly the caliber of players, start to increase in the last seven to eight years. The training they have been getting for years at the club level is making an impact at the high school level.

Kelly is a very intelligent player. She held that ball the perfect amount of time.

The girls make me look good. It's a nice honor but if they don't listen, then none of this happens.

This was exactly what we needed before next week's (district tournament). We got a chance to play against a top-notch team and we got out of here with no injuries.

I thought we should have put some of those chances away in the first half.

It's the most we've had from one team. It's just hard work and the girls going to all these top tournaments.

The experience of being here helped. Every year, we've taken another step.

We gained confidence as the game went on. The confidence growing was a big part of tonight.

These kids coming through now are a product of this local area. They're getting great training at the club level, and the high schools are getting the benefits later on.
