Everybody played a lot and everybody played well.

We were just knocking on the door and we came so close to winning this thing. With all they had to overcome this year, it was a great job. Nobody expected this.

We couldn't have played much better. Everybody stepped it up. They've just gotten better and better and pulled each other along. They really played like a team.

The thought of having to go against a 6-2 girl when my tallest is 5-9 is a little intimidating. From what I understand, she doesn't hit the ball really hard but she hits over the block. We'll have to make a few adjustments on defense. Lindsay Heiden (an Ida graduate) has been coming in so our girls can practice going against a 6-2 middle blocker.

She's the setter for the JV team and then we ask her to come up and take on an entirely different roll in a varsity tournament. She did a nice job all day.

She'd be a star on any other team.
