“I told Lauren I wouldn't play her if I didn't need her. The rest of the girls played very well in the first half. They looked for and got some good shots and they crashed the boards.”
“I have been blessed to have a great staff. Jay Ferguson has been around Jonathan Alder basketball forever and held all the school scoring records until Lauren broke them this season, and the girls have great respect for him. Bruce Gerber has been a great addition this season, especially in planning how to attack our opponents.”
“We really don't discuss or dwell on confidence. I just think it is within us. There is a great desire and drive to do our best,. I am excited for the seniors who worked so hard to improve their game last summer and I am excited for Lauren, who has been much more competitive this year on the floor. She knows she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and she does everything we ask of her and then some.”
