Brad Blew Good Quotations

I was pleased with the kids' effort and we ended 2005 on a good note.

When it came time for our kids to play to win, we came through and did a good job. We've won a lot of games at the line and we feel that's one of our strengths. When we can get the lead and put it in deep freeze late, we feel good about our chances.

They're ranked No. 2 in the state in all classifications, and they're certainly deserving of that, if not a little higher. They were very, very good today. Our kids played as well as we could have in the first half. We were right where I thought we wanted to be and then in the second half, we couldn't get anything going.

Going into this year, we really felt we were going to have a good basketball team. But to go back to state tournament, this team exceeded my expectations. You don't do those things unless you have team leadership and chemistry.

Lauren Dennis is such a great passer and she picked her moments well. I thought we did a great job of running the floor and executed on the other end. I'm very pleased with where this team is and I think we're playing about as good as we can right now. In February that's about all you can ask.
