The girls focused and did everything we asked.

I believe it did help, along with playing West Hall and all the other teams. That really makes a difference, playing in a strong league like we have. Three teams in the sweet 16 really says a lot about Region 7-AAA.

I didn't expect to be here. I believed that we could improve all season and possibly sneak in, which we did. But it's virtually impossible to beat a number one seed. They've just really improved and stepped up. They're coming along and that's due to hard, passionate work.

If our game plan is correct, we hope we can do the same thing, (tonight).

I'm real proud of the girls. They played real hard, with a lot of heart.

It was just a tremendous effort by these girls. They are just doing everything we're asking of them right now.

They (West Hall) just executed better than we did. The key was we gave them too many second and third shots.

I've got nine pages of notes. We've been working hard all week, my staff has been working hard, and (the players) listened to us -- that was the key. The girls focused and did everything we asked.

That may be the best we've played since I've been here. We worked hard over the break on playing better defense and shooting the ball better. I think we showed what we're capable of when we do those things well.

(Davenport) did a great job. She was pulling down rebounds for us, she was hitting shots for us. She's a great player and she did a great job inside for us.
