Darah Huffman Quotations

We've waited a year for this game. Look at that ... I'm still shaking.

She waited so late to decide, and I'm kind of glad, because she had such a stellar senior year. I'm not sure at the beginning of the year that people realized how good a player she was.

She's not the most verbal leader, but she's gonna lead on the court in every other kind of way. She led this younger team to a state championship. Above stats or anything else, that's what really matters.

It can be a challenge at the beginning, but if the kids are focused, I think you can tune a lot of that out.

I think the atmosphere's gonna be real similar. I hope it's gonna be packed for the kids.

I think we definitely had to work a lot harder this year, with all that happened at the beginning of the year. But all along, we just knew we had so much. We just tried to bring out all the good qualities of the kids we had, and they all started to click.

I think it's neat that the two neighbors are in the Upper State championship. I think it's great for Greenville basketball, regardless of who comes out on top.

I think they had more kids show up than we did. They wanted it more than we did. They weren't missing. They were on fire. It was their night.

That can be a lot of the challenge is the atmosphere itself.

That was the biggest play of her career.

There wasn't a dry eye in that locker room.

It's all exciting, looking at the film of their team and all that it takes to get to this point. But our girls were never nervous. I mean, this atmosphere alone can be very scary. But, they came out here relaxed and dancing. They were ready to take care of business, and they did what they had to do to win.

I'm so proud of these kids. To play for J.L. Mann, you've gotta have your head, heart and both feet into the program, and they have given so much time and energy into this, and they deserve this.
