Steve Hodson Quotations

When I looked in their eyes when we called a time-out with a minute left, there wasn't any doubt that they weren't going to win a ballgame. When you're 23-1, that means you've found 23 ways to win. They knew they were going to find No. 24.

She's probably the most humble superstar I've ever coached. She's extremely unselfish, and for anyone who is as good as she is at such a young age, you just don't find that combination very often.

No. If we were ready we wouldn't need three practices and another game; but we're getting there.

I am excited for this excellent opportunity to go back to and coach at my alma mater. This will be an exciting challenge to be a part of the great athletic department here at Southern Utah and hopefully be an important cog in the future of this program.

Cassie was patient enough to come off the screen and let the double team form, then found Paige.

Fortunately when they got within six, we were able to make some free throws and limit them to one shot on possessions.

Her mom told her to just take the night off and relax. Her dad said, 'OK, let's go.' So at 11 at night, they went to the gym to shoot so she could straighten out that shot. They're just a really competitive, hard-working family.

We made shots. Any time you make your shots you're going to be in the game. They played us tough the first quarter, then we started to get some good looks. The girls were patient on offense and played good defense.

Our floor position was good tonight. I think we got where we belonged. We got a lot of tips and deflections that led to easy baskets.

Physically and mentally, you've got to be tough. We did that down to the end.

Physically and mentally, you have to be tough to get it done going down the wire. I thought we did that on the defensive end and we rebounded the ball when we needed to.

We were so tense . . . I don't think we ever did relax and get in the flow of Canyon View basketball. But at the same time we did the things that you have to do be successful ? you guard, you rebound, you're unselfish and you make free throws going down the wire.

We did that all year at every home game. The band came to the championship game and the Dee Events Center was trying to play music and they drowned them out.

They did it together and that's the most meaningful thing for me. They epitomize the meaning of team. To win a state championship, you have to have a team.

I hope we see a different basketball team in our movement, and our ability to shoot it, because we're not a bad-shooting team.

I haven't won any of them. The kids have.

You've got to be able to make open shots against zones because you're going to get them.

The champion does not go easy. Any time you're a champion, you have a heart of the champion, and champions will respond like champions, and that's what Carbon's going to do.
