Our kids kept us in the ballgame and we probably could've been closer if we had made some easy baskets in close. I told the kids they played hard, they played their guts out, and took a good team and made them play hard.

I thought the kids played hard the first quarter. I think they caught Althoff a little off-guard. They actually had to play a little bit in the first half and didn't quite know how to deal with it.

Stephanie had a real solid game and carried us for a while. We did real well as a team in the first half, we just couldn't put another half together to go with it.

We're going to continue to grow. We've got a lot of new kids playing starting roles for us. Every week those kids are only going to get stronger and more used to the varsity speed and we're going to get better in the end.

The kids are excited about this win. (Gloucester) beat us twice last year. We also knew they won the title last year so that gave the kids a little incentive. Beating them is great for this program. Gloucester is a great team with a great coach. We can't wait for the rematch (Feb 9th.) It should be a good one.

Our two freshmen ran exceptionally well. Down the road, they could help us out on the varsity team.
