I absolutely believe that without that support and without that enthusiasm we would not be where we are. I think it helps to put us, in our tough games, over the edge knowing that you...

I think my kids are peaking.

The kids have experienced through the season that Heather is not always in for us. So they kicked up the intensity on defense.

We try to come out in the second half like it’s the beginning of the game. It’s tournament time and 20 points means nothing in the tournament. You’ve just got to go out there and...

As much I like my Heather, I think Jacquie was a main reason why we were champions.

If I was going to send a tape out, it would be the one from that game.

He scouted them (Career) quite a few times, so we were totally prepared.

I have really good kids. I think that people gravitate to good hard working kids and I think they can fall in love with the players.

He offered her the opportunity to walk on and in the future there could be the possibility of a scholarship. She is leaning in that direction.

They’re fast, athletic and they’re 26-0. They play man-to-man, fast-paced, pressure defense. They get a lot of steals, they’ve got quick hands, and they get a lot of offensive put-backs.

She (Daly) never said anything specifically about Jacquie or Heather, we kind of just talked about general stuff.

It was funny. I gave her the sheet and she said, ‘Mrs. Solar, I’m sweating.’ She was stunned.

It’s contagious. The enthusiasm that they have at our games helps to bring in people and helps to create school spirit.

It’s going to be a battle. We certainly have the potential to beat them, but on any given night. I think the kids are confident now and I think they’ll be ready to play. I...

We sat down and talked about Heather and he said he really liked No. 13 (Fernandes), too.
