Fred Thomann Quotations

I think this team is starting to understand how important it is to play hard and be competitive every time they're on the court. That's what we've focused on a lot in practice.

Teresa is our anchor. We have to get some scoring elsewhere. I have to give Brighton credit also because they're a good defensive team.

Teresa has been the consummate team player the last two years. She has done everything we've asked - score, rebound and defend. This year, we're going to ask her to score more than she has before because we lost the three guards.

It was different playing a conference game so early in the season, but a schedule is a schedule. I really liked our balance tonight. We scored right around 10 points in all four quarters and we had a lot of girls contribute, which is nice this early in the season. Our team defense was good, too.

It'll be a big help when we get her back. With Carly out, we have to use Tayler Langham inside with the big girls. When Carly comes back, we can use Tayler more as a slasher.

I think Northville, Canton and Walled Lake Central all have good teams coming back. But there are a number of teams that are capable of making a run at it.

All three of these girls can do a nice job scoring and rebounding. We're definitely going to be strong up front. But the key for us to be successful is to take care of the ball and play good defense.
