Bobby Ervin Quotations

She had by far her best offensive game. She's done a good job for us all year as a point guard taking care of the ball. Tonight she started stepping up and scoring for us. Hopefully, that's the start of something offensively for us out of her.

If we have a key going into that game, we have to handle the pressure. We also told the kids we have to play defense. If they can't score, they don't get in the press. We have to really concentrate defensively and on taking care of the ball. Hopefully, we can come out this weekend and get on a run and surprise some people.

It has been a good group for us. With all of the seniors we've had, it's allowed some of them to play JV and some of them to come in slowly. Tonight was a good time to get them and start getting some varsity experience because next year we'll have a whole new bunch.

Just her work ethic rubs off on everybody else. She's always going 100 percent, and I think people see that out of her and tend to pick it up, too. The main thing I like out of her is if you need a person who's going to go get rebounds and get in there on defense and get on the ball. A lot of kids do that, and Danielle thinks that's her role and she does a good job of it.

You look back and it's a bank three to start the game and, well, that looks pretty big right now. Just the breaks of the game. We didn't get them, but our kids are champions. They worked hard and it was still a very good season.

We knew we had to handle the pressure and the press was all we worked on this week.

They're all tough, each kind of loss you get, but if it's a one- or two-point game, you can go back through film and say you should have done this or that. But the bottom line is Mountain View played better than us. We didn't come out and get after it like we had before. We made a good comeback, but it was too late.

Danielle is one of those players that just a scrapper. She does all the dirty work that other people don't want to. She stepped up too and hadn't even shot a three all year.

The kids have done a good job of putting in a lot of time in the last couple of summers. They've been pretty busy, and I give credit to them for working hard to get better as individuals and as a team. I was very proud of them and pleasantly surprised.

If there are any kids that have earned a win like this, it's these six seniors that deserve it. They've been beat around by teams, but now they set a record for wins and have the first state win.
