Brian Keith Ball Quotations

We beat the No. 4, No. 1 and then the No. 2 seed to win the state title. The girls played amazing basketball all week.

(I told them we should) just prepare ourselves the best as we can, and not get caught up in it being such a big game. This is just a basketball game. We are just trying to keep it simple right now.

We get to do something we love, which is basketball. It's been fun, and we are looking forward to the trip. With that in mind, we know that if we want to be a state champion, we've got two more games to win.

I know they're going to be great kids because their coaches nominated them. I've got the greatest seat in the house. I'm going to watch them play and hopefully they'll have fun. That's what it's all about. We want them to enjoy this because it's maybe the last time they get the chance to play basketball in East Texas.

Charles is a great player. He'd start for most everybody. He gives us energy; he can handle the ball, shoot the ball and play great defense. He's strong, he can take the ball inside if he has to.
