Defensively, we played with a purpose in the first half. Our kids took advantage of what Eminence gave us in the first half. Our seniors were focused on this game and getting the Powder Keg back.

I'm happy with the kids' effort. We played with emotion and purpose. We want to win, but we can live with this. I feel this is the first time (this season) we've taken a step forward. We walk away disappointed with the loss, but we're not distraught. We'll have plenty of opportunities the rest of the way to keep getting better.

The kids played very well in the first half. But we didn't play real well in the third.

Offensively and defensively, we played much better in the second half. We just dug too big of a hole.

We played like garbage the first half before we woke up.

We haven't been playing well but we played a good first half.
