I think that the kids proved to themselves that they can play against a quality team that not too many people gave us a chance against. All in all, I thought we did a nice job.

It's very frustrating to lose in the first round again, especially after the season we had. It's very disheartening. But we'll look to go out next year and do even better.

If it doesn't (target Abel), then maybe they're not reading the papers because, when you see what she's averaging, I think everybody will know Vanessa Abel. She's put our school in the paper a lot this year and, even though she is the focal point, we're averaging 63.1 points scoring and we've done a nice job on offense.

I think he did a nice job of fending off reporters at first. But Stevens opened the door, and Porter is not the type of person to back down.

I think we've got the caliber of kids that can step it up, and, even if they are shutting Vanessa down, scoring she does a nice job with the ball, distributing it to her teammates and running off our sets. The other kids can step up in those situations. I hope so, anyway.

We're very scrappy, we don't quit and we never give up. I think games where it's close, either end is going to play dividends for us, because we have been in so many lopsided games early on in the season that we need to get a feel for what it's like when there's that little bit of pressure on and how you're going to react.
