We had a great, great run. They gave it everything they had.

The amount of turnovers was unbelievable, especially at the beginning. It seemed like we never got a shot off for such a long period of time.

Usually when you see teams do what we've done in two years, it's the same group. These are different kids.

All good things come to an end. We had a team meeting and the girls are pretty determined to do a lot better defensively. Against Deer Park, we scored 69 points. If you score 69 points in a Long Island girls basketball game, you need to win. That said, I congratulated his kids after the game. They played a great game.

We absolutely could not stop those two girls.

But they never mentioned it. Really, the bottom line is in my four years as an NCAA member, the lack of communication is mind-boggling.
