Adam Barrett Quotations

We've been in a lot of close games this year, and I think maybe that's starting to pay off.

We're a different team without Wilber. We needed Julie to step up and she did. I just told her before the game, 'you got to carry us.

She's one of the top point guards in the state.

She carried us for the first quarter. As a freshman, she doesn't choke. She's just unbelievable for a freshman.

I don't think we've had a good game since we've been here (at the Dome). We're bound to have one good game.

I expect her to have the best four games of her high school career (at state). She's got to carry us.

Katie's done that all year for us. She stepped up and found a way to get to the hoop.

I think we all feel better going into the tournament, including me. We know the layout of the Dome. We understand that the courts and the backboards are different. It's a different environment, but we've been there, so we understand that.

Lincoln played harder. Their athleticism kicked in a little bit. They got us this time, but I'm sure we'll see them again.

Julie was an animal. She said from the beginning she was going to get this team to the state championship.

We haven't had a shot called on a game-winning shot all year. Those are tough to accept.

We don't build around one or two players, but all of the top players.

When she has to she steps up. She found ways to get shots off inside. She's crafty.

This was a championship game. To beat them at their place was huge. That's what you have to do to compete for the league championship.

We tried to find a way to lose, but at the same time, down the stretch, we found a way to win.

There was a lid on the rim for us. When we're not shooting well, we're in trouble. If we're not making baskets, we can't get into our press.

That's what these tears are for: Julie. She had a great four years at Riverside. It's too bad we couldn't get the win.

It's not easy for us right now. We felt we were a good enough team to play for a championship. We just didn't capitalize. We came up one game short.

It's nice knowing we didn't play our best game and still won. I told the team after the game, 'You better thank Katie Grad for this win.

Oh man, talk about speechless. We've been in a lot of close games, and now we're finding a way to win.

It will be a scramble game. They definitely have a shot to win it all. We're gonna have our work cut out for us.

They just hit shots. We couldn't hit anything. We've got a lot of things to figure out.

I really thought it was critical for the fans to share in the experience.

I can't believe that. You don't take a game away like that.
