“You only go to Tennessee if you're a great player and want to compete at the highest level and want to get pushed. There's a certain kind of mentality that's there. This is a different kind of mindset that's been really important at the championship level.”
C. Vivian Stringer
“Candace Parker is a great player but she's not the entire Tennessee team. They have a lot of great players. I think you just have to have a good game plan and give them some different looks.”
Sylvia Hatchell
“This is a very big rivalry. I think these are the two toughest teams, high school level, in Tennessee. It's always very close with two goals.”
Colleen Taylor
“At Tennessee, we had a great crowd ... and they were loud. Here, it's a whole new level.”
Andre Dyson
“Every year, Tennessee always gets the most out of their players and they did tonight. We knew we had to be ready to fight because Tennessee never lays down and stops playing regardless of the score. I'm happy where we are because we're getting better every day. We've been talking about playing with more passion and more fight and that paid off for us in tonight's match.”
Roland Thornqvist
“If you want to read about some full-blown fights, read about the Tennessee players, not our guys.”
