Semifinal Game No. 5 Galesburg vs. Taylorville


Quotes and Notes


Galesburg Coach Evan Massey: “We were fouling quick, getting them to the line, but we had problems keeping possession of the ball. It was frustrating to us because we thought we had the game (won). It was ours to be won, but we let it slip a way. it probably will bother us (for 3rd place game). Our rebounders broke down, but our post players dominated the game. I thought the kids made it tough for the referees because they were aggressive. I thought we were able to press at time s and were successful, but we got frustrated and had turnovers. It’s a game where we would have liked to have done different things. When the ball was up for grabs, we went after the ball. I am proud of them for that. On offense, we made pre ssure a non factor.”

Molly Watson: “Allison Curtin is a very athletic player. We had problems boxing her out.”

Taylorville Coach Carol Wilson: “I thought is was an extremely physical game. (On Curtin’s foul problem) No I wasn’t struggling with it. I knew Allison would go in and do what we needed her to do. We talked about Molly Watson being a good pl ayer, but our concern was that we didn’t want the four other players to step up and beat us. I felt we were very consistent. We did a good job handling adversity on the floor. Our rebounders do an excellent job, and are good at boxing out. O verall, I thought we were quicker with transitions. I don’t think Allison had a bad game all along. She has great footwork and a great first step. We are just happy to be here playing for the state championship. It was our goal all year.”

Allison Curtin: “If I was going to foul out, it was going to be because I was aggressive. I think fouling sometimes makes me play better. I have to be smarter (on the court).There is a lot of talk about us coming back (next year) being state champions. They (Galesburg) weren’t boxing out very well. You could get to the ball easily. They didn’t go to the ball; they were expecting it to come to them. It was like playing at home because all the fans are here to support us. (Taylor ville sold more than 2,800 tickets for the game.) I think Molly (Watson) is a great player, very nice on the floor. She is so tiny and she can get herself in there and get the shots. I don’t think of myself as a one position player.”
