We're just looking to get back into the flow of things. We're hoping to sharpen our skills and execute our offense and defensive schemes. Getting to see other quality schools not in our conference is also going to help us out down the stretch.

We've got a very aggressive, trapping style of defense. And we get a lot of turnovers out of it. We've been able to get momentum with turnovers and score in transition.

She was dominating. They had man coverage on her the whole time. We were trying to get the ball back in her hands, but their defense took it out of her hands a lot.

She changed the whole tempo of the game. We went back to zone defense and that helped a little bit.

I thought that changed the entire momentum of the game. It caused turnovers and we scored off transition. It put us in a comfort zone that I felt much better about.

(Nagel) played the best game I have ever seen her play.

We're lucky to come out with a win.

We've had some very good practices over the holidays. Our intensity has been good and we've been focused. We're just hoping to continue it this week and into conference.

We've had some good practices over the holidays. We got a lot of turnovers, turned them into transition and got some momentum going our way.

We just had too many turnovers and Alma had too many offensive boards. I don't think it was Alma's pressure that bothered us because we've faced a 1-3-1 zone before. We get a run in the second half and then turn it over four straight times. But we played hard and I was proud of their effort.

Every game is huge. We're at the point now with three losses that we have to win every game to be assured of a spot in the regional.

At the end I told them how proud I was of them. We've been working on the strategy of how to use the clock and work it to your advantage and they did that tonight.

Defensively I thought we did a great job the whole game.

This group of girls was a joy to coach and I'm sorry the season's over. They had a great attitude. Running isn't always a junior high kid's favorite thing to do but they worked hard and didn't complain.

They have done very well. They have been focused and trained hard. This has been a great group. I know that is usually said. But it was fun to work with such a great group of girls.

Again, a great team effort to create the win.

The group has worked extremely hard. To only take 11 girls and finish third was a pretty big achievement for us. That says a lot about their work ethic. They worked well and pulled together as a team.
