Tim Chapman Quotations

As a post player, she dominated. Her jumping ability, her post moves were excellent. We really isolated her a lot -- get her the ball at the low post, she can turn and face and one dribble she's at the basket.

I think they understand every game is important and they aren't going to have those easy games where you go out and blow somebody out by 20. These girls have been around long enough that they understand that. As the defending state champions, teams are coming out to beat us and they take that as a challenge and look forward to it.

That's what we want to do. You can't slip up in tournament time. So we came out really focused, jumped on them early and got that big lead. I thought the girls played hard even though we were up by 20 or so. They still had the intensity and that's what I liked about it.

They can go out winners. Only four teams get to win their last game of the year. These girls bounced back. And to win by 21 -- Richfield's a good team.

This is going to be a social services disaster.

These girls have been focused all year. After (2004's) loss, every girl got an 8x10 photo of the Idaho Center with Feb. 19, 2005 written on it. Because that was the goal -- to show everybody we could win it all.

When you think about it, there's not much between New Orleans and Atlanta. We're going to need shelters here.

We appreciate the help, from the (county jail) inmates and from everybody involved. One outfit alone would not be able to handle a project like this.

It's a special group. They came out hard and played hard. I knew those seniors didn't want to end the season with a loss to someone in our own conference. I know these seniors didn't want to lose to anybody.
