Amy Govert Quotations

She has come a long way. She's just a natural athlete. There's things she can do with the ball in practice that still amaze me.

I was pleased with how our post players performed tonight. I wasn't pleased that our guards, at times, decided to get away from our game plan and start shooting from the outside. We work our offense inside-out, not outside-in.

I think Sharon came in with something to prove tonight. She was focused and ready for the task at hand. We're going to need her to step like she did tonight if we want to make a run during the postseason.

Brittney Moore is the best big-person passer I've ever seen. We talked to the girls that we can't have 10 people scoring 20 points every night, we have to play unselfishly.

Every team gets up for a team that's doing well and we didn't respond. We'll have a lot in store for practice.

That's when we're at our best. Teams have to say, 'who are we going to stop?' We know we've got kids capable of putting up numbers. Most of the time, we're very unselfish. It's something we didn't do our last outing. It was one pass and shoot. Sometimes they get too caught up in listening to outside factors. We got back to basics. We got the shots we wanted.

You need a dominant post player, but you also need a good point guard. If you look at the good teams around the area, they have a dominant point guard and a dominant post player.

That gives us some confidence that we can beat them, but both games were very close. It is extremely difficult to beat the same team three times. We'll have to be at the top of our game.

I have to congratulate Lake Central. They played better than us in every aspect of the game. ... We needed to respond and step up, and we didn't. We were out-rebounded and our defense was nowhere in sight.

These girls, I'm so proud of them. They've had a lot of pressure on them. They've worked hard. I don't know how many jump shots they took each day in the summer. They knew everybody was going to pack it on our post and (shooting's) something that's gotten 100 percent better since last year.
