Quotes by Mike Klembara

“We were not even in it from the get-go. They played very good defense. We didnt block out very well. We missed a lot of shots and really didnt play well until we had a nice run there in the second quarter, and then we turn around and they run 12 or 13 straight off.”

“The igniter of this whole thing was Katrina Chapman. Shes a freshman junior varsity player, whos been playing varsity. She hit back-to-back threes and we were on our way.”

“We were able to dominate the boards and played perhaps one of our best defensive games of the year.”

“She scored 20 and 22 points in those two games. She?s been a thorn in our side. We just can?t let her control the inside.”

“I think we had the proper game plan. We wanted to slow the tempo and play our 3 defense (a 3-2 zone). They were just a little more mature down the stretch than we were.”

“I thought we would be okay if we stayed within striking distance in the first quarter and we did. We were able to take the lead in the second half. This will be such a great learning experience for the younger girls on the team.”

“Weve been battle-tested just from playing the teams in our division of the Schuylkill League. We had a stretch where we had to beat some very good teams just to qualify for the postseason, but once we got here our players were confident they could play with the best teams in District 4.”

“We knew who the scorers were, but the other players contributed greatly, which is a huge plus for them. We didnt rebound as well as we could. It was a matter of us not attacking the bucket on a shot. Its something we have to commit to improving.”
