Terra McDaniels Quotations

I have been blessed to have a great staff. Jay Ferguson has been around Jonathan Alder basketball forever and held all the school scoring records until Lauren broke them this season, and the girls have great respect for him. Bruce Gerber has been a great addition this season, especially in planning how to attack our opponents.

Lauren tried three or four in one game early in the season, but then she went back to what she does. I have no complaints.

Lauren impresses me every day and every minute. It doesn't matter which end.

We really don't discuss or dwell on confidence. I just think it is within us. There is a great desire and drive to do our best,. I am excited for the seniors who worked so hard to improve their game last summer and I am excited for Lauren, who has been much more competitive this year on the floor. She knows she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and she does everything we ask of her and then some.

The whole season, we've been a third quarter team. The fourth quarter just comes along for the ride.

There?s a lot of experience on our team and the girls are excited and anxious to get going. I think our schedule has prepared us. We?re ready.

It was big. That gave us some breathing room. It was huge.

It was big because it gave us a little bit of breathing room.

It was same old, same old. Another day, another foul for Lauren.

I told Lauren I wouldn't play her if I didn't need her. The rest of the girls played very well in the first half. They looked for and got some good shots and they crashed the boards.

They made her work for every point. But she got them at the (free-throw line). She was tired, but I just can?t afford to take her out at this level.
