We've seen the girls play here. We can only imagine what our crowd will be like.

In the second half we got to every loose ball. Our girls played harder than I've ever seen them play. My job is to figure how to motivate them to play like that from the start. If we can do that, we can be a special team.

Playing all the girls we play ... sometimes we might take our lumps here and there early in the game, but late in the game, we always feel like we're going to have the fresher legs and fresher bodies. That's why they call it a team sport, because everybody contributes.

The girls were ready to play. This is the third time we've played Freeman.

I guess we open up with the big one. It's a tall order, but the girls will be excited about it. We've got to be ready to play, to give it our best effort, to get as many rebounds as we can at both ends of the floor.

We want to look back and be able to say the 2006 team was 30-1 and won a state title. No one that's ever played here can say that.
