"These girls played hard tonight," said South Central Coach Gary Kapper. "As Coach Long told them after the game, they played with a lot of heart. Sandoval had beaten us two times earlier in the year. This was a total team effort from everyone. We only had seven players dressed and weren't sure if we would have Abby Hahn who has been sick or Sidney Wilkins who has been battling an injury. Sidney was out all of the second half except the last few minutes and Abby stepped up and kept this team together.

"Katlyn Hilmes came up big in the fourth quarter with seven of her 12 points and three of four from the line. Mady Kollman hit two big free throws late in the fourth quarter."
