12 Quotes by Scott Hyland

I felt like we addressed some things on our defense that we were giving up, and I felt like we would play much better in the second half. But once again, we didn't have that life to start the second half.

We were a bit sloppy in the first half but finally started to take care of the ball in the second. We made the free throws when we needed to down the stretch and shot well in the second half.

We've got so many people capable of making big plays in key situations. It makes us difficult to defend.

We just didn't have a lot of life early. We're down 8-0 right out the gate and just were not playing well at that point. But we chip away and chip away to tie it up. It was just everybody doing a little bit here and there.

We came out the exact opposite way I thought we would and dug ourselves a hole early, but we were able to scrap back and got the job done. We got a lot of contributions from a lot of different people and have a team capable of making runs. A lot of it is sparked by our defense, and when we decide to guard people, we can be pretty good.

We played a good game against a good team that came after us. We stepped up defensively and made some stops when we had to, and we shot much better in the second half.

We talked prior to the game about our big win against Panola and how you're not a contender in this league unless you can win on the road. We felt this was a big game for us if we were going to be in the mix and was a game we had to have.

Our defense bought us some time until our shots started to drop. Also it enabled us to get out and get a couple of baskets in transition.

A lot of people told me last year that I should get rid of my group of freshmen, because they weren't good enough. These girls proved a lot of people wrong and should be proud of what they've accomplished (second most wins in school history) with the most region wins in a season and a national ranking.
