22 Quotes by Ric Garcia

We're all right. We're still doing great in conference. We have two losses in league. It's not like the whole world fell apart.

We played the No. 1 seed (in the High Desert League) and we were the No. 2 seed (in the Sierra League). We weren't able to knock off No. 1 because they played like No. 1. They are well coached, they have talent, and they have played together as a team for quite a while. They showed that they are a true team.

We're working on getting it to our big people. (Six-foot-two center) Nicole (Scott) hasn't been getting touches. That's been our emphasis at practice.

When our big people come to play with energy like they did tonight, we play pretty well.

We had a hard time running our offense. They remind me a lot of Reno (which shut Carson down twice this year) - our kids had the same expression on their faces against Reno.

Douglas came out fired up and we couldn't meet their energy level. Nicole had two fouls early and we sent her to the bench. And we struggled with their 1-3-1 (defensive scheme).

This being my first year, I was blessed to have a team like this. They are the greatest girls in the world. They worked together and made life pleasurable for me in my first year coaching here. In my 27 years of coaching, this was my most enjoyable year.

All of our kids played hard. South Tahoe was down on numbers and had injuries. Their kids played extremely hard. They had a good energy level no matter who was out there.

It was a quiet bus ride all the way (to Reno). It wasn't like these girls that I've come to know. It worried me. They seemed to be...lifeless. With this group, we need to play with energy.
