Joshua Staley Quotations

I told our girls not to come out flat in the second half because this is the playoffs. Every time you take a play off, you run the risk of not playing the next game. It's one and done, and we knew North Myrtle Beach still had fire power. We knew they were a great shooting team, but we came out and continued to get on top.

We don't lose a whole lot from one set of five to the other except for maybe a little experience. We try to make up that experience factor with intensity and that showed tonight.

It's always good to come up with a victory, always on a positive note. We couldn't find any energy tonight. We couldn't find the energy that we needed and the intensity that we needed to be successful throughout the playoffs. We've got a lot to work on in practice. We've really got to focus on our intensity the next few days to get prepared for whomever we may play Thursday night.

The post play was amazing tonight. We normally try to play from the inside out and we made a conscious effort to get the ball into the post. That really worked well for us tonight.

We wanted to come out with a lot of intensity and pressure the ball early. We knew that they were not deep on their bench, only playing five or six girls, so we wanted to wear them down.

We're going to go back and look at tape and try to find the mistakes that we made tonight and fix them. We're going to continue to work and get ready for the next round.

It's extremely important to win on the road. If you don't win on the road, you're not going to win the region. A road win is almost like two wins.
