Brian Urig Quotations

I expected to see a solid team from point to post, and that?s what we saw. But that?s also why we scheduled this game. It?s not about a regular season winning streak, it?s playing the best competition you can find.It can only make you better down the road.

I think it just took Ashley a little while to find the flow. But when she found it, every thing worked out very well.

When you're this deep in the playoffs for the first time, every win is the best win. I couldn't be prouder for the girls.

We were getting open, and finding the open shot. We were getting good shots. We just weren't making them.

The overtime was a good quarter for us. The girls focused up a little bit, and we were able to make some big foul shots down the stretch. That really helped us.

The defense did a good job compensating for our shooting problems. Sometimes when you're struggling offensively, you need to use your defense to create opportunities. Find the easy shots and try to get some momentum going.

We chased a lot of our ghosts away.

Our defense has been carrying us. They always say that offense wins games, but defense wins championships. That?s starting to show through.

Ashley creates her own shots and sees the floor really well. She gets herself open and finds the good look.

Back around Christmas time, I really thought this team was jelling into a nice team. Just the way they started to play as a five - they really started to get the concepts we were starting to teach.

They were everything they were supposed to be. They moved the ball incredibly well. They got some inside buckets on us and it took a while to stop that. Then, when we stopped that, the girl heated up from 3-point land. So it seemed like every time we cut something off that they did, they found another place to start scoring.

Sun Valley always has a tough team. They might not finish with a great record, but they will always come out and give you a game. They are well-coached, and have solid players through the line-up.

They won't go defensively from end line to end line. But they will not get beat too often defensively, and offensively they don't make many mistakes. Their mistakes will be missed shots. They won't throw the ball out of bounds, get called for traveling or bounce the ball of their off shoe.

That (semifinal) loss had to be the toughest they had to endure. It took us a while to get into it but we pulled it out.

I'm proud of the girls for the accomplishment. It should make the kids feel good, and it should make the school feel good to be recognized by our peers like that.

I?m really proud of the efforts of the girls today. This was a very tough team from Georgetown, and our girls showed they can play with anyone, from any state.

The girls are gaining confidence with every game.
