I like to bring Kristen off the bench because she is just instant offense. But if you had to pick an MVP tonight, it would be Kristen.

I think it helps for sure. I also think it helps that we’re 15 minutes up the road and Copley is an hour-and-a-half away. That’s got to be an advantage.

There were four or five times where a bucket here or there and we could have made a difference.

I don’t know if Val was healthy it would have been different. I would like to play that team again because I think we’re evenly matched.

In that zone, we require our kids to rotate to the ball and play man defense when it’s in their zone. A lot of times zones can get stagnant, but our kids have to move.

I was so impressed with our defense. I don’t think we ever played it harder or better.

They’ve got a dynamite point guard and, like us, a big 6-2 girl. They’ve got a nice senior and a solid player and mid-range shooter. We’ll have to take care of the ball.

I told (assistants Ken Kreis and Steve Rasmussen) that we were shooting ourselves in the foot. We got great looks.
