“She's been the glue. She's always doing the little things — crashing the boards, making the big stop, setting the screen that gets the girl open. I can't say enough about her.”
“I'm thankful because in all honesty, we haven't had a long time off. We had four days. They worked hard those days, and then we had this. These last four games gave us an opportunity to get back in our offense and defense and get ready to go.”
“When I had (Lauren) Tanner and them, that (zone) was actually what they did. When (this team) was in junior high, that's what they did. They haven't played it varsity as much, but they know what we have to do and where we have to go. (Claiborne) is a good basketball team, and (three players) can shoot the lights out. Our kids knew that. We didn't give them any good looks, and they had to work for everything they got.”
“I just feel like it's going to be a good game. Both teams are going to be real hungry. (Adams) is big, strong and athletic. They're in a lot of ways similar to (Columbia) with their guard play and inside game. AC may not be be there height-wise, but they may be stronger.”
“I've got the best assistants in the world with Howard (Jones) and Lacy Johnson. When she says something the kids really listen. She said it's fundamental — you've got to have fun, and you've got to bring your mental game. If they play hard and play smart, they're going to have fun. If we do that, I know I'm going to have a good time.”
“Brookhaven always has good teams and good coaching. You can never count them out. They're fundamentally sound. But as I've always said, if my girls play hard, they are tough to beat.”
“We're excited to play anybody. That is a privilege. What can I say? Every day is an opportunity. This gets us to Overall. We're going to go out and fight and give it our best shot.”
“The second half we executed our offenses beautifully. They were mixing it up zone and man (on defense). But we were taking the high-percentage shot in the second half.”
