Brian Pritts Quotations

She's very deserving of this honor. She works extremely hard and she's relentless in making herself better. I have high expectations for her in the future.

If it doesn't (target Abel), then maybe they're not reading the papers because, when you see what she's averaging, I think everybody will know Vanessa Abel. She's put our school in the paper a lot this year and, even though she is the focal point, we're averaging 63.1 points scoring and we've done a nice job on offense.

I think that the kids proved to themselves that they can play against a quality team that not too many people gave us a chance against. All in all, I thought we did a nice job.

I think we have to learn from it and break things down a little bit. We have to learn from our mistakes, learn what we did well and what we can do well in the playoffs.

I think we've got the caliber of kids that can step it up, and, even if they are shutting Vanessa down, scoring she does a nice job with the ball, distributing it to her teammates and running off our sets. The other kids can step up in those situations. I hope so, anyway.

Our kids showed a lot of poise tonight, because Mt. Pleasant is a very scrappy team, they're relentless. We got up on them, and got lazy. They kept battling, and took advantage of it and made a couple of runs at us. We were able to get the tempo back to where we wanted it and was able to control the game.

I think he did a nice job of fending off reporters at first. But Stevens opened the door, and Porter is not the type of person to back down.

We're very scrappy, we don't quit and we never give up. I think games where it's close, either end is going to play dividends for us, because we have been in so many lopsided games early on in the season that we need to get a feel for what it's like when there's that little bit of pressure on and how you're going to react.

We thought all along with everything that has happened that this was a pivotal game for us this season. We have to get ready for the second half of the season, and what we're hoping for is to battle for the section crown, so this win was huge beating Uniontown on their floor.

They showed poise tonight. Mt. Pleasant is very scrappy; they're relentless. We got up on them, and they kept battling and battling. Then we got lazy, and they took advantage of it.

It's very frustrating to lose in the first round again, especially after the season we had. It's very disheartening. But we'll look to go out next year and do even better.

It's very hard to teach instincts and she has them.
