Benjie Wood Quotations

Last year we were kind of in awe of playing down there. This time we're going down there to win a game.

We thought we had her covered. We knew she was a clutch shooter, but we had a missed assignment, and I'll take responsibility for that.

That was a lot of senior leadership out there for us, because we shot the ball poorly tonight.

We advanced, and we didn't get anybody hurt, so it was a good game. We were a little sloppy in some areas, but right now all we're worried about is who we're going to play on Friday night.

You look at the record and you might think that, but they have two girls that are as good as any in the state. One of them was hurt late in the year and has just come back. We will have to be ready to play.

We didn't get position, and she just played very physical tonight.

It was a business-like approach from the girls. We've been here before and we knew what we had to do to get back there.

I've never been more proud of a group of girls in my life. Unfortunately, the breaks just didn't go our way tonight.

Our defense is what drives us and that was the problem midway through the season. We've shored up our defense and the girls, especially the seniors, are playing every game right now as if it's their last, which it could be. They can score and so can we. Whichever team plays better defense will win.

North Hall has been playing as well as anyone over the last two weeks and we knew not to take them lightly. They played an outstanding game but we were finally able to wear them down at the end. Our girls just stayed focused and business-like.

North Hall battled and played well. They're so young. They remind me a lot of us two years ago.

They're very athletic. They rely a lot on transition baskets, and they shoot the three a lot, that sounds a lot like us, really.

There's a lot of work left to be done. The players they have back are quality.

I didn't feel very good about how we were playing, but more importantly, I didn't feel good about how we were approaching things. We weren't playing hard and seemed to be living on the fact that people thought we were good instead of showing them in our play. But that loss woke us up, I think.
