We'll be building up to being a lot faster and a lot more precise with our passing in our approach. You can expect some longer rallies coming from us.

When you change your offense, there will be a transition period and you'll have some rough spots. I was fairly impressed, for asking them to make a change in two weeks. It was a great job.

We subbed in a bunch of younger players, and we gelled a bit better in this match.

We may not hit the ball as hard as last year, but we are going to hit it a lot quicker.

I think we go on the floor expecting to win. I'm happy with that change of mentality. These girls are fighters and they'll fight until it's all done.

I think alternatives need to be looked for to pay for librarians. The community has spoken out ... I think we need to listen to the community.

Our league lost a lot of players. Vail Mountain will be the strong team, but the other four teams lost a lot of players and are all young.

We played pretty well in the first match. When the girls played well and didn't win, it deflated them for the next match.

We slowed down the offense and concentrated on defense for a while. This will either tire out the team on offense, or defense. Unfortunately, it wore us down a bit.

The tempo, and offense to defense transition, is not a huge issue against the 1A schools we play, but to beat a bigger team, it's important.

They really care for each other. When a team is a team, whether they are 6-feet tall, or 5-feet tall, it's hard to beat a group of kids who work together. I think these girls are going to drive in this direction.

It was back and forth all game, and we had no downturns. We only missed two serves in three games.

It's great to know you can beat a team you've never beaten before. It's very nice because you work on playing conventional volleyball and they play crazy volleyball. It frustrates the fool out of you. But we worked hard, persevering, passing and not giving up even though they dug us.

It was one of those struggles where the court seemed like the size of a football field. There were holes everywhere and we couldn't get there to cover.

They will go in thinking they can win. But to their credit, they do they best they can do with what they have.

Their performance deserves professional support, and from the beginning I brought those people on-board.

If you raise the bar for children, they not only reach it, they far surpass it.

I have to say I was very pleased with the way we played. Everyone played extremely hard, and they were very consistent.
