Katie Brunelle Quotations

I was completely thrilled with how the team responded at Fluvanna. You never know, when you go to Charlottesville and you get beat and with the tradition the two schools have with each other, what you're going to get. The girls came out against Fluvanna and the score was lopsided. Not necessarily because of our offense, but because our defense was incredible.

We never really got into our offensive rhythm. All season we've relied on our play in the paint, and they just pressed us outside a lot.

We never quit fighting all night long. We were fighting an uphill battle form the very beginning. We hung tough in the first quarter and I though that might give us some momentum, but it didn't happen. We can blame it on a lot of things but it just didn't happen.

We said after the tournament was over the second season starts. We're totally focused on our district now. There's going to be a lot of parity and plenty of close game in our district this season.

We were down two starters. They pressed us really hard the whole game.

You can't count anyone in our district out, from the top to the bottom anyone can lose on any given night.

This week is going to be huge for us. If we can come away with two wins we'll be in a very good place.

We knew coming into the game that it wasn't going to affect anything. We already had second place locked up. So we're going to take some time off and sit back and think about what we have to do. I think we'll be fine because these girls know that the tournament is a brand new season.

We hung in there during the first half. But we just ran out of gas in the second half.

Even though she wasn't chosen to play in the game, just to be one of the 700 is so special.

The win was huge for us. Now we can control our own destiny. That's always important late in the season.

This is huge for us. The district has been tight all year, and you know nobody wants to finish in the fourth spot.

I'm very proud of my team. These kids have meant a lot to Orange County girls basketball.

The loss is going to make things interesting as far as how the district is going to play out.
