The Queen City Jewels polished us off tonight in a 52-48 game. It went down to the wire, with the Eclipse fouling them to try to get back possession and score. Just not quite enough time down the stretch as they made their free throws.
Anyway, the Eclipse girls played great and left it all on the floor. Struggled some with shots falling but played aggressively and with heart, never giving up. Queen City's No. 14 scored 25 of their 52 points--21 of them with her seven 3-pointers! Wow!
So we finished in seventh place. Not the Final Four appearance we had hoped for and become accustomed to the previous three years. Still, very respectable and we are very proud of the girls and their 110% effort. After all, not many teams can claim Elite 8 showings for four straight years.
Thanks to you all for your well wishes and support!

A couple of footnotes ...
Coach Knight told the girls he loves them and they all have a place on his team if they decide to come back next year.
To a girl, everyone wants to keep this team together. This is a very special group, they are terrific girls and they've been through a lot together. They are all very coachable and I would expect more good things from them in the future.
It's been a great year and now it will be fun to watch the girls go off to their individual school teams and see how they do. AAU prepares these girls for high school and beyond, and I imagine they will all assume leadership positions on their school teams.
This is a great blod, I am so proud of Miss Hannah and her team. Thanks for letting the Dodge City gang share in this event. Blessings and hugs, R and M
