The regional final is the toughest game of the year no matter who you play. You?re so close and you?re not there yet. It?s such a process to play well night after night.

She's very unselfish and she just wants to be a part of this team. She does what she can to make this team better overall.

She's one of those players that doesn't need to score. She's one of those players you really enjoy coaching and she'll do whatever you ask her to do.

I have got a lot of kids who just believe in one another. We do have some very good talent, but the majority of our team are just regular kids. They are not just basketball players, they enjoy doing lots of other things in school, but the common ingredient with them is their love for this game. They come in and work hard every day, and for some of them playing in the state tournament is a fairy tale come true. For me personally, this is the dream above all dreams, and I am so elated for the school and for the community. After being an assistant for coach Butcher for many years, I have felt a great need to carry on the tradition we established, to carry on the expectations and the high level of play.

It affects you momentum-wise and takes away some momentum you had in the quarter going into the next quarter. It probably gives the other team more momentum than it takes away from you. It happens, but basketball is a game of momentum and runs. Learning how to stop those and get one going is the key.

That was big. Teams have been sagging in and trying to double off of people and keep us from getting it inside. You don't have to knock down many, but you hit a few and when that happens we get a lot better.

Winning the regional title and beating North was an emotionally difficult experience for me because Dave and I have been friends for 25 years and we had to beat someone you care about and kids your care about. But I like to think of it as a great basketball game between two good teams.

We have some good basketball teams coming in throughout the three days. I'm pleased with who all is coming. There should be some great basketball being played.

We had a pretty good plan in place, but little things hurt you badly against a team of this caliber. They can score so fast. But for us to be in the tournament championship game and to play this well against one of the best teams in the nation . . . this is something that?s really going to help us as we go down the line this season.

We played well at both ends of the court against Scioto. They were undefeated, so that puts us a leg up in the conference.

Emilee is a great, great player and a great kid. She has the ability to take over the game.

North Side Foods has been a proud member of the business community of Central Georgia for more than 15 years and this expansion is a sign of our ongoing commitment to the region. The expanded production line will utilize advanced manufacturing processes that will allow us to continue to provide the best product in the business in a more efficient and environmentally-friendly way.

It's a tribute to our community, our kids and the dedication they have toward girls basketball. It's a great thing for our community, kids and schools.

Davidson is a good, solid fundamental team, but if we get by them Brookhaven is better than their record. It's tournament time and a new season for everyone. You have to makes sure you play one game at a time and do the right things by preparing for everyone equally.

Davidson is a good, solid fundamental basketball team. We've got to take care of the basketball and (get it) to the right people. Everyone has got top players, but our team is defined by our strength inside and we have to make sure we get the ball to those people. At the same time, other people have to do their jobs and contribute.

They've got three solid guards, and they can shoot and handle the ball and also put pressure on you. They also have good inside players. You've got to come out ready to play against them.

It has taken a lot of work to get this far, and that?s because these players believe in something. What you see is the drive. Stephanie has that drive. Stephanie has that respect from her teammates. They see what expectations she has. She just rubs off on everyone around her.

I'd have done the same thing, in his shoes. When they did hold it, it made us work and tired us out on the defensive end.

You can't get involved emotionally in the game because then it takes you out of your game plan or takes you out of your focus for the game. You have to focus on what you got to do to keep them from scoring or whatever it might be. I thought our kids did a great job of that.

The Dublin Scioto game was a big game. We had a good crowd and were able to present them with some serious problems with our defense.
