Todd Hansen Quotations

The thing I noticed about our team was they didn't hang their heads. They were all focused. They knew the game wasn't over.

The nice thing about this team is our depth is so good. There's absolutely no hesitation to go the bench and play all the kids. We've not had this much talent on the same team ever before. It's a nice luxury to have as a coach.

Our girls wanted to prove something tonight. It's a credit to our kids. They didn't fold.

We did a lot of good things tonight. The nicest thing was we had 10 girls play and all 10 scored. Plus, a lot of the reserves got a lot of minutes.

We didn't panic. We got some clutch rebounds and then we made some free throws in the end.

Had we shot a little better on offense, we could have had even a bigger night. But I'm not complaining. I thought the girls played very well.

It was nice to win those first two games against South and Memorial, but to rally back against Eisenhower and then win in overtime, that helped our confidence a lot. We were down the whole game that night. To come back and win that one told me a lot about the character we have this year.

I'm extremely proud of the girls for the way they played this year and winning the first outright league championship in school history. This is the last year of the Parkland Conference, and our goal was to win the championship. I'm extremely proud of every girl on this team.

That run right there got us going. The game was close until then. We got the press working and hit some shots. That's what we do. That's how we've played all year.

I think one of the big keys in the second half was that we never could get over the hump and get the lead. Had we taken the lead, we might have won it. But we never could get that key basket or key stop to even tie the score. They made the plays when they had to. They did time and time again in the fourth quarter.
