Gene Rasmussen Girls Quotations

Last time we didn't do a very good job of shutting those (other) girls down.

That was nice that we had a tough game, especially coming from behind the way we did. (Our girls) didn't hang their heads or anything, they really came out and played hard and took care of what we needed to take care of.

We don't have to talk about last year. The girls have it in the back of their minds what happened. Just as it was then, our goal is to win a state championship, but we're not going to overlook anybody and we're going to take it one game at a time.

We really thought it would be a battle. I'm really so proud of the girls, the way they came out and played so strong. I just think they did an awesome job.

After we got beat last year, the girls put a lot of time in and worked really hard to get back to this position. One of their goals all season was to get back to this position and take it one step further. It's an awesome feeling.

The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.

They were a very good ball club, very physical and very aggressive. (Coach Mike Fischer) does a good job with his program and gets his girls to play hard. I know the last few games they've been playing very well, so I figured it would be a battle.

They played very physical inside. They were not as tall as our girls but they were a little bit bigger, and they did a good job on the boards, too.
