She knows how to play ball. She's getting into a groove with the team, and that makes her an even better individual.

It's like the start of a new season. What we've done until now ended (Saturday). ... We have scares when we go and get our lead. I've just got to keep them pressing and fast-paced.

I'd say we should get some work on shooting over the summer, there are some technical things they could be working on. I know they'll play together, because they like to. Other than that, it's just another year of maturity. If it all works out, it'll be a good year. There's a lot to look forward to.

This year, it was difficult to get started. The change of their coach and coaching staff, it was a big adjustment for the kids. (The 21 wins) really attests to their skill level.

We were all dropping back afraid of what might happen rather than seizing it. They (the Raiders) did well inside and we ran out of time.

I hope (that game) makes them realize that it's about every practice, not just the one before the game. We shot OK that day, but we had the opportunity at the end to put the game away, and we didn't.

It really shows promise (for the conference). It shows that Middlesex County has some up-and-coming talent. I think, looking at these teams, that it's anyone's game right now.

They're all getting confident with each other, and that's important. And my confidence in them is much higher, too. They're starting to do things together that really work.

At halftime we talked about giving them a step one on one. Everybody is so worried about giving up a 3. Nobody shoots better than 33 percent (out there).

They were just awesome today. This meant more to them than anything, they put everything on the line, and were this close.
