That's maturity and focus. When a team makes a run at us, I don't want to have to call a timeout. We should have the maturity to fight through it.
More Quotes from Ed Swanson:
Their approach all week was a real professional one. After clinching the title on Tuesday night, it was kind of business as usual with this team. There wasn't too much of a celebration. The kids were real focused and they played with a lot of energy. They didn't play perfect and we have a lot of things to work on for Tuesday. But they played with a high level of energy.Ed Swanson
Every time I looked at their stats, I got sick to my stomach. I thought we did a good job on their first-shot percentage, but it was their second and third shot that was the difference.

I don't know if you can measure everybody strictly on statistics. Mary played with a lot of courage, and I think when you look up and see a kid fighting day in and day out with pain because of her passion to want to play, it makes everyone else a little better.

Knowing it was Senior Day, Nicolle was emotional in the locker room before the game, but after she hit some shots and got her rhythm, she got that swagger that had been missing for the last few games. When she hits shots from the perimeter like she did today, it makes us a better team.
Ed Swanson
That's what we start with from day one. The kids play with a high energy level, and that allows us to do a lot of different things on defense. Our defense is our staple.

We won't play scared. We'll play hard, we'll play together and we'll compete.

I made a few records here and there by default, but I wasn't ever comfortable in that role. I wasn't comfortable on stage. We'll see how it goes this time.
