Janet Disbennett Quotations

Madison and Natalie played (Pickerington Central's girls twice during the regular season in singles. They won both, so we had a mental advantage over them. UA was the bigger match. I wasn't even worried about the finals. The UA match is the one we wanted because anytime you can beat UA, it's big.

When the Taylor girls won it, it was great because it was a senior and a freshman winning. Madison's a junior and Natalie's a sophomore, so they have next season. They played very well. They were aggressive and they didn't let up. Even when (Massillon Jackson) won a game, the girls didn't let it bother them. ... This is what you work for.

Repeat. That's about all you can do. They have (a state title) now and they know what it takes to get there. It's great that they've done it because I always knew they could do it. Now they have.

That was a good match. The girls were down 5-0 in the first set before they woke up. I think the nerves settled in and they needed to settle down. They won three straight games, which made a difference. Even though they lost 6-3, the three straight wins got their confidence going.
