That No. 1 spot is big right now. It's not an easy trip down to Booneville, and winning the conference will give us a bye until the semifinals. The fewer trips we have to make to Booneville, the better.

Anytime Ozark and Farmington get together it's going to be a battle and it was tonight. I thought we had some great shots early but they didn't fall and it didn't look like we were going to get anything going. But we had a nice run in the third and were able to hang on. We're lucky to get out of here with a win.

This was a big game for us. This clinches the conference championship and allows us to be the No. 1 seed at the district tournament. There was a lot riding on this game and I thought our kids responded well.

Lauren Dennis is such a great passer and she picked her moments well. I thought we did a great job of running the floor and executed on the other end. I'm very pleased with where this team is and I think we're playing about as good as we can right now. In February that's about all you can ask.

The kids played well. They had a lot of effort and executed well. I'm very pleased with how we played.

I was pleased with the kids' effort and we ended 2005 on a good note.
