Quotes by Beth Campbell

“It was the kids goal at the beginning of the season to get to Saturday, and were there. Lets hope we can improve from last time.”

“With her play tonight, you can see why Melissa earned a scholarship to play for Seattle Pacific next year. But we are a deep team that has several players who do many different things well.”

“The defensive pressure we applied after halftime really helped us. And the good shots we got by going inside on offense wore them down.”

“When she finally made the decision -- I want to be a basketball player and I want to be as good as I can be -- thats when she really started to develop.”

“There is nothing to be ashamed about. To get this far it was an incredible ride. These girls learned a lot about working together and caring about each other. Colfax is a great team, and they have a bunch of nice kids. Thats what this whole experience is supposed to be about.”

“Weve been down a lot before, but we always managed to fight back. Our goal is to fight to the end of the game, and we did that. We just could come back on them.”

“It wasnt so much that Melissa wasnt shooting well, we had a difficult time even getting the ball inside to her. Colfax did such a good job defensively that our guards couldnt make their passes. And no one else shot well, either.”

“I think people who havent seen her play and only look at stats, dont have a true picture of her. Stats dont tell the whole story. We didnt have one go-to player. We had a balanced team. She could have scored a lot more point if it had been our main goal to go to her. She is very much a team player.”

“Were always saying, Play to the last buzzer, and it came down to that. Zillahs a great team and they bring a lot of pressure. It took a lot of heart for our kids to handle that.”

“Our defense at the end made the difference for us. To hold a team as good as Zillah to 34 points, that was a big effort.”
