There's no doubt in my mind that winning those two games got us started on the right foot. The Classic 8 Conference is one of the best leagues in the state for girls basketball and all sports. So to get two wins from those two teams helped our conference a lot.

This is a nice win because it puts us up two games over three teams. We've been winning games, but could only get a one-game lead. Now we've got a little cushion. I thought our kids played a pretty good basketball game tonight.

It's great to be going back to the sectional. We've had a very good season so far, but we'd like to keep it going for a while. But once you get to this level, every team is tough. We're going to have to play our best basketball of the year on Friday.

I'm very pleased with how we've started the season and how the girls are playing. But our next four games are going to tell us a lot. We're going to run into some very good basketball teams. I think we'll know more about our future by the end of next week. But so far, I couldn't be happier how the girls are playing.
