“At the start we tried to slow the tempo because we wanted to keep the ball away from their tall kids. King is tough. We figured with a slow tempo and if we hit a few shots, we'd be in it at the end.”
Bob Atkinson
“There's going to be a 162-foot (tall) crane erected out there on a crane tower. That'll start all the heavy work for the structure. So, you'll start to see steel and all that put in place. We'll finally start to get above ground and pretty much go from there.”
Nancy Donovan
“We were intimidated by all that height. Everyone they had on their starting unit was at least as tall as our tallest guy. By the time we figured out we could play with them, use our quickness to offset their height, we were way behind.”
Benny Harris
“They're a very athletic, tall team that's well-coached. They're up-tempo on both sides of the ball. They're very aggressive defensively and they probably have every one of our players by three or four inches. That concerns me.”
Mike D'Aloisio
“Essentially, you start with the frame. You start out by deciding how tall you want to make it.”
Denny Burk
“We tried to send a message because we heard they had a (tall) player and we were shorter than her. We had to work real hard on defense.”
Fannie Goodwin
“We expected the tall guys, we've heard all about them. But we didn't expect them to start lighting it up from the outside.”
