9 Quotes by Dave Farrell

We experienced the high Friday night and the low Saturday night.

She still has some things to learn. I haven't pushed her to be a team leader because she is playing with juniors and seniors. But her position kind of demands it.

She's a very mature kid. She was playing eighth-grade ball in the fourth grade. She's always played up. She's a good player and a great kid. She's our best shooter, and they did a good job of taking her out of it. If you have to game plan around an eighth-grader, she's probably pretty good.

For this team, as young as we are, any type of championship environment is good for us.

We never matched their intensity level. We weren't able to come out of our timeouts and raise our energy level. We just never responded.

We had some signature wins against some traditionally strong programs like Tensas and Riverdale. It wasn't a one-game season, but this was the most important game of the season. It was a disappointing way to end it.

I don't know if we actually showed up, to tell you the truth. All they did was guard our point guard, and some of our kids didn't respond. But I'm proud of them. We've come a long way from last season. They only won three games last season.

Caroline is one of those players who has such a feel for the game. You tell her something one time and she's got it.

Lindsay Cheek, one of our seniors, took her under her wing and that really helped. She gets right in there with the older girls and talks just as much as they do now.
