I have really good kids. I think that people gravitate to good hard working kids and I think they can fall in love with the players.

I had talked to them how important it was that the kids feel there was school support. It's really caught on.

The kids have experienced through the season that Heather is not always in for us. So they kicked up the intensity on defense.

It's contagious. The enthusiasm that they have at our games helps to bring in people and helps to create school spirit.

It's going to be a battle. We certainly have the potential to beat them, but on any given night. I think the kids are confident now and I think they'll be ready to play. I don't think they'll be intimidated.

It was funny. I gave her the sheet and she said, 'Mrs. Solar, I'm sweating.' She was stunned.

As much I like my Heather, I think Jacquie was a main reason why we were champions.

They're fast, athletic and they're 26-0. They play man-to-man, fast-paced, pressure defense. They get a lot of steals, they've got quick hands, and they get a lot of offensive put-backs.

We try to come out in the second half like it's the beginning of the game. It's tournament time and 20 points means nothing in the tournament. You've just got to go out there and make sure you put the lid on it.

We knew right down to the specifics of each player. Pretty much they stayed to their game plan, thank goodness, for us.
