We knew we had to handle the pressure and the press was all we worked on this week.

You look back and it's a bank three to start the game and, well, that looks pretty big right now. Just the breaks of the game. We didn't get them, but our kids are champions. They worked hard and it was still a very good season.

If there are any kids that have earned a win like this, it's these six seniors that deserve it. They've been beat around by teams, but now they set a record for wins and have the first state win.

Just her work ethic rubs off on everybody else. She's always going 100 percent, and I think people see that out of her and tend to pick it up, too. The main thing I like out of her is if you need a person who's going to go get rebounds and get in there on defense and get on the ball. A lot of kids do that, and Danielle thinks that's her role and she does a good job of it.

If we have a key going into that game, we have to handle the pressure. We also told the kids we have to play defense. If they can't score, they don't get in the press. We have to really concentrate defensively and on taking care of the ball. Hopefully, we can come out this weekend and get on a run and surprise some people.

It has been a good group for us. With all of the seniors we've had, it's allowed some of them to play JV and some of them to come in slowly. Tonight was a good time to get them and start getting some varsity experience because next year we'll have a whole new bunch.
