We had a way of doing it which was wonderful, ... One of us would go in and say we were looking for my mother. At the door, they said, 'Of course, go look.' We'd go in and open the exit door.

We made a lot of unforced errors. But I'm really happy about how the girls pushed through it all and won the match. But the key was the fact that we were able to take advantage of their errors and take control of the momentum. When they make an error, we wanted to take advantage of it and we did.

Last year, playing (games) like this, it was what I called a feeding frenzy. Everybody pushed up, there was no shape and we just tried to bang away.

She's in there banging away. We ask her to play a post defense and she doesn't mind at all. She doesn't get pushed around by anybody.

She got her son named Robinson. But when little Ray ((Ray Jr.)) went out there, he was pushed to the back. Just like Leonard. Just took Ray's glory. Millie doesn't care who doesn't like what.

Obviously, his size is an advantage. He's got good feet for a big man. He played up front in his early days, so he's got good feet and is good on the ball. He needs to keep improving as he is certainly being pushed from behind by some of the young kids. It's good to have that competition as well.
