We know who their best player was, frustrated him, and played good overall defense. As you can see, we're not the biggest team in the world, so we have to rely on our quickness and defense.

That was the difference. Our defense gave them problems and it was especially encouraging for us to rebound the way we did considering they have to 6-foot-3 girls.

All the primary defense witnesses will have credibility problems.

We don't have a Russell Westbrook or a Jon Reed (of Peninsula) or an Alex Tucker (of Redondo) -- we have a bunch of young men playing their hearts out but who are without a lot of size. Our biggest guy is 6-foot-3, and that makes it tough. Everyone's bigger. We just have to play hard and give them a game.

I used to officiate for 15 years. I never ever stepped on the court. Oh, well. I guess they don't want to hear me.

I do think there's going to be some form of an upset. Somebody is going to shock somebody. Hopefully, it's us.
