That probably was the best defensive game I've ever seen in girls' basketball. Everywhere Evans went, she went. She (Downey) frustrated her all night long.

We got into a little bit of foul trouble (in the second half) but we were able to get through it. The girls played pretty darn good. Any road win this year will be a good win.

There's no words to describe it, she just played wonderful.

We knew Shoals Christian was going to make a run. I was proud of how our girls responded. A year or two ago, they would have panicked, but they really showed their maturity tonight.

We were playing a lot of basketball together when we were younger. A lot of young girls just don't that opportunity.

This was the farthest a Cardinal Newman [girls' basketball team] ever has gone.
