We set three goals and we accomplished two, which isn't bad. But we wanted to win the conference, go undefeated at home and win a district championship.

We never focus on records anyway, but the girls know how other teams are doing. In preparation for any game, we focus on style of play, match-ups and tendencies. We always respect every opponent because when you don't, you will pay the price.

That's a credit to these girls that so many things didn't go their way, yet they kept battling and had opportunities to win. We played hard, just not well.

Their kids play extremely hard all the time and I'm sure they'll increase their intensity at tournament time. We'll have a size advantage on them in the post and we want to make full use of that.

We'll try to limit Andrea Moore as much as possible. She's a good player, but we think if we can contain her we should match up pretty well at the other positions. Hopefully, we'll be able to get them on the boards.

We didn't handle their pressure well and never got into sync on offense. They jammed our guards and kept us from getting into the offense. We couldn't get the ball inside. Plus there were some other factors that I don't want to get into.

We got just about every rebound in the third quarter, kept them off the boards. We had some offensive rebounds, too, but couldn't finish with the shot.

We did a pretty good job containing her most of the game, but she scored 14 points I think in the third quarter. We handled their pressure pretty well, but just did some bad things in the third quarter.

It was an exciting finish, and the girls were pretty thrilled to win a close one against a good program in a great atmosphere. What pleased me most is that I could tell our girls expected to win. That's a great sign.

Sam is our defensive stopper, and fans may not see all the little things she does to help the team succeed. She hustles all the time and she knocks away or deflects so many passes that end up steals for her teammates. She's the epitome of a team player, always does her role and hits the open shot when it's there.
