Debra Pegram People Quotations

We spent so much time on the defensive end of the court in practice. All 10 of my players were quick or really strong post defenders. I didn't have anyone that I felt would get scored upon by most people in high school. That gave me the freedom to sub more.

She's a little under the weather. She had a sore throat and people were trying to find her some cough drops and they finally found some. I didn't realize they had to go to Wal-Mart to get them, but they brought her a whole bag of 'em!

I don't know who those people were in the first half wearing our uniforms. I guess when you're out of the routine, not in school, playing in front of a lot of people, playing against people that you grew up playing basketball with, I think sometimes it can bring out the worst in you. That's pretty much what happened.

Our post people are really going to have to work on their post defense because we have (Valentine and Little) we'll have to contend with. And we've just got to stay out of foul trouble and not try to block every shot and just play good, solid defense.

We don't like to depend on only one or two people in our offense. It's working better when everyone contributes and is a threat.

We've never mentioned our record at all. I know that a lot of people probably talk about it, but we just worry about trying to get better for our next opponent.

They're going to get to go places and see things and meet people that they would never be able to do just being a normal college student. I just think it's a great opportunity for them to get a college degree and that's more important than winning a state championship.

(The Lady Panthers are) probably the most athletic team we've seen except our J.V. boys. We're definitely going to have to box out and take care of the basketball because they like to trap. Not a lot of people have trapped us this year so we're definitely going to have to be prepared for that.
