We threw in the full-court presses three days ago. The girls did it very well, and they sold out on it.

The girls set individual goals. We fulfilled those goals.

We prepared for Royal like we would for East Valley or Connell, because they are a respectable team.

With our half-court defense, we focused on turnovers.

I keep telling the girls good free-throw shooters are made during the summer. Once you get into the season you keep practicing them but you're really not going to improve all that much.

I feel that this group of girls, the entire team, has already come together as a unit.
