Mike Boles Quotations

We're going to bounce back, we're going to come back and we're going to fight. We're going to rebound from this. It's a learning experience if we come back.

We did exactly what we wanted in the first half, but they hit their first three shots of the second half, and that seemed to give them confidence.

So far the response has been pretty good. We've already got nine teams who have committed to coming to the tournament.

She's a special player. She's not one-dimensional. She looks for her teammates. Sometimes it's hard to take all those shots but she has the green light. She's very unselfish.

Friday is going to be a battle but we're going to show up.

We played hard tonight. They were just bigger and faster. Our kids gave it all they had. Piedmont was just too much to handle.

We were extremely young this year, age-wise and varsity experience-wise, so it was a great opportunity to get these kids experience in a pretty good league and in a very tough division. I thought they responded and competed very well. We're really looking forward to next year.

We expected the game to be physical. More intensity. Redwood wanted to take it from us. They did for a three-minute spurt but we recovered. I'll give Redwood credit, they played hard.

Britney took over and got us back under control offensively, and she and Courtney are very experienced and mature players who are very unselfish with the ball.

It was our poorest game, but you've got to give some of the credit to Novato as well. They seemed to have more energy than we did tonight. It's a credit to them.

It was our defensive intensity. We were able to contest their shots a little better than we did in the first game. We really concentrated on getting out to the shooters. I thought our defensive intensity was probably key. That was a good performance. We're going to try and build on that.

It was their size. It definitely wasn't from a lack of aggression on our side. We really try to emphasize and concentrate on the defensive boards. Tonight we just didn't secure enough of them.

It's a good opportunity. It's good to have change. We're trying to complete next year's schedule. It's what I'm doing right now. We're trying to upgrade the schedule a little bit.

I told her as soon as she got on the court that we were going to overwhelm her. She shows leadership on the court with how she plays. She wants everyone to be as committed as she is. She had veteran leadership to show her the ropes (last year). They passed on a lot and hopefully she'll pass that on.

It's not just great for Vicky. It's great for Justin-Siena and even (the city of) Napa. For everyone involved.

They came out with tremendous emotion because they were missing one of their top players, and they shot the ball extremely well early. They're the best Division V team in Northern California.

The girls played hard right to the end.
