Port Arthur played good man to man defense for four quarters, but we managed to outscore them. I expected us to use this game to get over the christmas break, which we did. We played hard.

Another sound defensive game for us, and that's been our key. If we play sound defense and back up our pitchers then we're coming out on top.

These guys are a great team, speedy and quick, but it was really nice to stretch our legs defensively. Our guards were finally able to step up and attack. It's always fun to play full court defense.

It's not a bad season. We surprised a lot of people. We had some kids step up. Any time you can do that it's not a bad year. We have nothing to hang our heads down about.

It was incredibly emotional. It was hard for them to take care of business. I'm proud of them for staying together as a team when they were hurting as much as they were. The girls and I are really concerned about her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. The girls walked into the gym in tears.

She was really close to all the kids. She was in the gym on Monday. She was a great kid and such a hard worker. She was always the first one in the gym. She was really smart and ran my scout team. She was just an incredible person. We're really going to miss her.
