We're excited. We're ready to get going. We haven't played a game in a week-and-a-half. We've been doing a lot of scrimmaging against ourselves. Now, we're ready to line up against somebody else.

We took away their inside game, but they shot lights-out from the outside. We came out a little flat tonight. I thought we would be better focused. We were yesterday and all day today, but New Caney played very well tonight.

Winning 26 games is a testament to our kids' focus. It's a long season. It showed their focus and their drive to be able to keep it together and stay dialed in like that for that many games and to come out with that many wins.

The whole purpose of the tournament was to get in as much games as we could, and I think we were sharp in everything we tried to do. We played with a lot of intensity and desire.

The whole purpose for us doing this tournament was to get people games to shake off that holiday rust from being off for a week or more. I felt like we pretty much picked up where we left off. I think we played well offensively, now we are going to focus on trying to win it.

They're very athletic and very quick. I think if we show up and play our game and dictate the pace we'll be OK.

They're a solid team. They remind me a lot of our team. They're just sound in what they do. They have two outstanding players who scored 46 of their 52 points the other night. We have to keep them from going crazy and having 95 percent of their team's points again.

They're good. The free throws were the difference in the game. They're too good to give them that much of a difference in that part of the game.

It's good to be recognized. At the same time Caney Creek wasn't worried about Pine Tree being ranked in the top 10 all year (Lady Panthers beat Pine Tree in bi-district). It gets your name out there across the state. People recognize you're going things right. Other than that, it's not that big of a deal. We still have to play the games.

I'm proud of the girls. They made a lot of history this year. There's no reason for the girls to hang their heads. I'm glad they hung around until the end. They played hard from start to finish.
