Our kids showed a lot of poise tonight, because Mt. Pleasant is a very scrappy team, they're relentless. We got up on them, and got lazy. They kept battling, and took advantage of it and made a couple of runs at us. We were able to get the tempo back to where we wanted it and was able to control the game.

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.

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.

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.
