We did enough defensively to win that game. We just didn't do enough offensively.

She got a big bucket late for us off the offensive board.

She came here and wanted to work hard. She asked how we could make her better. She practices just as hard as she plays.

Jamie is the kind of athlete Central is looking for. She's the total package.

Our next three are big. But we have to take it one game at a time.

We played Laura way too much. But we are a better team with her in the lineup. It hurts not having her in the lineup.

We wanted to make the shot and go into diamond press. It was a good shot. We still needed the timeout.

We anticipate very, very tough conditions on the hill.

Both teams battled out there. But we executed when we needed it in the last four minutes.

Both teams were in offensive rhythms. They were just more aggressive on defense and created havoc within our sets.

We've got active fire in there right now. The danger to structures is as great now as it ever was ... short of the fact that we're there and we're trying to prevent that.

That's impressive especially with how young this team is and how much adversity they have faced.

There will be a lot of emotions in the game. We will have to keep the emotions in check. We will especially have to keep Jamie's emotions in check.

There is no threat to the town of Oracle. There are about 250 campers that were set to start in there today, and so we've contacted them and asked them to initiate a precautionary evacuation because we're concerned about their welfare.

It's going to be a very pivotal day for us. The threat still remains, but we continue to be very hopeful that we have a good solid plan in place.

It's rare to find an athlete like her now-a-days.

They've had an up and down season. They'll either come in wanting to be a regional buster or play really loose. They are going to be competitive either way.

If Jamie asks someone to do something, they will do it because they respect her.

I have never once heard her speak a bad word to anyone before. She has been positive all season. She has been consistent for us during the team's maturation process.

The difference in this ball game was the free throws. You're not going to beat the No. 9 team in the nation on their floor shooting only three free throws.
