That's the way it should be. Regular season co-champs in the finals. The girls are excited about the game.

The first half has always been as battle with East Burke. But in the third quarter we came out and stepped it up. I think they only scored seven points in the third quarter. The second half was the difference.

Different people stepped up tonight. That's the way it's been all season, different people stepping up. I just feel like when this team plays as a team that they're unstoppable.

(Washington is) going to be a great player in this league. She's strong. She can go right strong, and she can finish. She did give us a problem. But I was proud of our defense at times rotating, especially down the stretch.

It was back and forth, and McDowell is a well-coached team, coached by a legend. It was special. It was senior night. There were times when it was back and forth, and the girls just kept believing. They were not going to be denied.

With these two girls, we've got a great advantage inside, so we try to get them the ball.
