This is a huge weight off our backs. We really thought we had a chance last year, and we promised to give it our best shot this time around.

These girls are an overall loose group and they have a lot of fun together. They work hard and play hard. We have seven seniors who are great leaders and the girls really enjoy being around each other.

Anytime you can finish undefeated in the CCL, you have to be happy. We had a little hiccup (in a 51-47 loss to Pickerington North on Feb. 4). We've kind of rededicated the season to the fundamentals and doing things that helped us become successful. We still don't feel like we've played our best ball.

It really doesn't matter who we play, all the teams are going to be good at this level. We just have to come out and play like we did (last Tuesday). We have to stay focused and play four quarters of basketball.

It was a tough time. But after the second loss, we sat down and I explained that there were two ways to go: bounce back or go in the tank. They've responded well and played hard and focused.

They're probably the best team I've seen this year. We had no answer to Kristin Daugherty.

A lot of times we get a lead and let down, but we never did that (last Tuesday). We kept playing all game and played very hard. We hope it means we're peaking at the right time.

As happy as we are to win district, we're not happy enough yet, I guess.

We didn't play our best and they did. We couldn't force turnovers. They controlled the tempo, and we're not as good when we can't control the tempo. We played our worst game of the year.

We handled Watterson pretty well the first time, but they're much-improved and are very young.
