Jerry Strahm Quotations

Some of these girls have been there in front of the big crowds. I think it's had a settling effect for us in basketball.

We definitely had our chances. It was mental mistakes in the second half that hurt us.

We wanted to press here. We saw how Trinity struggled against Bottineau's press (in a quarterfinal loss Thursday). And at times it was working for us. But there also were times when they were beating us. I think we were tired (after a late 60-59 quarterfinal loss to Kindred on Thursday).

Sara really controls things. We need her scoring. But she's even more valuable as a playmaker. She makes everyone better.

I wanted the other girls to learn how to do the no-look pass, so I asked Sara to show everybody how she did it. And she said she didn't know how to explain how to make those passes. She just does it.

The girls worked hard. We don't have a very deep bench. But I didn't think they were getting tired. With TV timeouts and my own timeouts, I didn't think that would be a problem. We've been in games like this before.
