Dell Leonard Quotations

We're going to have to take care of the basketball, handle their press and pressure and block out and rebound if we want to win against Parkview.

We've won some big games at the line this year, and we've lost some at the line. We know how important free throws are.

She does every little thing well. She's a great defender, she's a great passer, she scores well... you name it and she does it. Her whole game is solid.

She hit her spots all night and just pitched really well.

Obviously as well as our kids can shoot it at times, if we can just take care of the ball we're going to win a lot of games.

People love to watch these girls play. I love to watch these girls play. I'll be sad to see the seniors go.

I think I'm still in a state of shock.

We'll try our best to learn from the silly stuff we did tonight.

We'll find out how well we're playing Friday night.

We played with a great team today. They whipped us at the beginning of the year and that says a lot about how far we have come.

There are a lot of little things we've got to get better at, but there are a lot of good things that happened today, too.

We're young but we have some kids who can do some things. I think 90 percent of it was nerves.

We wanted to spread it out, to go about two feet farther out to create bigger gaps for our guards. We felt like we could cause them problems as far as quickness. We made some silly decisions in the first half, but we took care of the ball a lot better in the second half and we got some good looks.

Bergman is loaded, they have so many kids that can do some many things. The thing about Bergman is they are going to bring a lot of people over here and will have a good crowd behind them. Coach (Bobby) Howard does a great job. He jokes around that they will come over here and lose three games, but I think they'll beat somebody and may be three people. They can win this thing.

Fast-pitch softball is a pitcher dominated game. You're going to have to be able to handle no-hitters. The team that made the fewest mistakes won.

Although you'd like to do it in your career, it's not always about getting a ring and a state championship trophy.

That makes it hard to defend and easy to coach. Anytime you can have that many kids score in double figures, you've got a good chance to win the ballgame.

It'll sure make Spring Break a lot more enjoyable. Everybody in the lineup had a big at-bat somewhere in there that in some shape, form or fashion produced a run.

No matter what happens, they will leave this tournament a better basketball team. They're as capable as anyone as winning the thing. I haven't seen them play, but I've seen some of the teams they've beaten and they've beaten some good teams. They are in midseason form.

I'm totally speechless. We didn't play very well at times, but when it came down to crucial moments when we had to execute, we did. Just a great team effort.

I'll never forget any of those kids. They've done so much more for our program than just win basketball games. They're great examples for our younger players with their work ethic in practice and the way they conduct themselves.
