“The girls did a great job defensively. We were a little passive in the first half. We were pressing but it was a little laid back. They only had one ball-handler, and once we started pressuring her they couldn't control the tempo.”
“We want the next step, which is the states. We know it's going to be a harder tournament. We're going to learn from mistakes in this game. We had an 18-point lead and blew it because we didn't rebound. We know that and we're going to take that to the next game.”
“This has been a special year for the kids. We had to battle through a lot. We had a lot of adversity and they've been a tremendous group. It's just the girls work ethic.”
“I think maybe we put it in cruise control a little bit. Partially it may have been my fault because I slowed it down a little early just to make sure we protected the lead in the championship game.”
