Cary Thompson Quotations

Until we regain a defensive swagger we are going to continue to struggle. It's a mystery to me why we have lost our confidence to play defensive with intensity. Letting another team shoot nearly 60 percent from the field is a tragedy.

We're going to try and build on this in-your-mug defense and continue moving the ball up the floor. We're going to have a deep bench and more balanced scoring. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

She did that because of the work she put in during the off-season. She worked hard to get to this point.

She ran our offense all year. She was a real floor leader for us.

Our offensive average went up after losing our career leading scorer, and our steals went up by 64 this year. We accomplished a lot out of the change in style.

We played much better basketball this year. With the style we played, we were just so much more competitive.

We showed a lot of character in the third and fourth quarters coming back. We weren't ourselves at the beginning of the game, but as the game wore on we attacked better and played smarter.

We asked her to guard some of the best players in the state. She really grew in her confidence and I think she could be a real force for us in the future.

They should be 9-2. I'm not happy at all. We gave away this game.

It was our best game of the year. We played very solid on both sides of the ball for four quarters.

Carroll was really focused and we weren't. They were upset at Winterset on Friday and they were ready to take it out on someone. We had a packed house and I was disappointed that we didn't give a focused, four-quarter effort.

The girls didn't back off and we attacked to the best of our abilities. Our offense scored 33 points compared to 19 the last time we played them. Give them credit - they're a bunch of horses.

The frustrating part was the types of shots we didn't finish on. We had looks from five feet away all night.
