You don't always want to wait until the ninth inning to win games, but we haven't had that. That propels us, to know we can win at any time. You don't want to go into the postseason scuffling.

Now, we can have some swagger in these late-inning games because we have done it before. We have a reference point.

We're starting off slow. We're just trying to fight back the whole game, but you won't win many games like that.

It was not one of our better games, the girls seemed a little sluggish, ... But they stuck together and pulled it off.

Where else could you do that much basketball? The great football rivalries plus we also did some south county games, Crown Point, Merrillville and also Valparaiso.

We had 67 replay games (that year), a little over 9,100 plays, and we shut it down 43 times. And of the 43 we shut down, we reversed 21. That tells you the referees ain't bad. They get most of them right.
