Stacey stepped up big for us. As important as her scoring and her defense is her leadership.

This is (Edwards) first full game pitching for us. She's a young pitcher. She played great defense.

I just preach defense. Everything for us is defense.

We are not neglecting penmanship, but we have prioritized it in its proper order in the big picture of literacy. If we are in school for six or seven hours a day, it can't be an hour.

The kids played hard in a very good game and we really stepped up our shooting in the fourth quarter. Nathan (Mahomet head coach Nathan Seal) has put together a quality program over there so this is a big win for us.

I thought our kids gave them a hell of a game. We had them at halftime, but a lot of little things happened. We told the kids if we could hold them under 50 points the game would be ours, and they got 52.
