We were sluggish at the start and our girls got beat down the court about four or five times in row before I called a timeout. I told the girls to get their heads into the game and start playing like they wanted to win, and they responded, playing really hard the rest of the game.
More Quotes from Roy Backus:

This is where we wanted to get to all season. So you can bet we're going to give it our best shot. We're going try and play them like we played De Queen because when De Queen is on, they're a team a lot like CAC.

We didn't double team her because we wanted to make sure they didn't beat us with their guards, who are also pretty special. We knew if we sagged back on her, they could wear us out with their 3-point shooting. But as it turns out, it was six of one and half dozen of another. We were in a tough spot no matter what we did.

We very easily could have won the regional, but there's not a whole lot of difference in between No. 1 and No. 4 at this level. We got hot in mid-January and have been playing real well since then. From there we've been real consistent.

I really figured we were a year away. But at the same time I knew the talent we had could get us to this point if things fell just right.
