"Our words today were humble and unselfish. That's what we really wanted to focus on as a team. I think we did that, and we shared the ball well. We want to play good strong defence and build our offence from there."

"It means everything. My family and my high-school coaches - everyone was so excited for me. I was a little nervous, but everyone on our team was so supportive and as soon as I stepped on the court all those nerves went away and I could focus. It was awesome."
