24 Quotes by Paul Alepra

She has been doing that a lot lately. She plays up and harasses the other team's point guard. That makes the other team do something different with their offense. It spreads them out a little bit more and makes a little bit of a longer pass which we hope to pick off.

She is a pretty good free throw shooter. She went through a rough stretch when she wasn't shooting the ball well. But she practices it and she figured out what she was doing wrong. As long as she gets to the line those are free points and you have to get those and capitalize on that.

I have enjoyed coaching these girls the last three years. It has been fun watching them grow as basketball players. I am happy for them to be able to end the regular season with a win.

I give Princeville a lot of credit. Every time we would start to pull away they would come right back at us. They could have just as easily rolled over and died but they kept coming back.

Natalie is a bundle of energy. When she gets the ball in the post she is hard to defend.

Yesterday we worked on some things that we thought we needed to work on and we did those things better tonight. We moved the ball around well and we shot the ball better from the outside which opened up the inside.

We didn't shoot free throws well tonight but the girls did a nice job on the defensive end. I'm just happy with the win. It's a long trip over here and this was an important conference win against a good team.

We are worried about our next game only and not looking ahead. The girls wanted to set some goals at the start of the year, but I told them to just worry about our next game. They have adapted to that and our one goal is just taking care of the next game. We are not worried about two games away or three.

Those 3s by Sarah and Brooke were big. We also changed defenses in the second quarter and I think that helped a lot. Overall I was happy that the girls didn't get down mentally when Morrison built the early lead. We stayed with it, fought back and finished the first half strong.
