I was just glad we were able to hold onto the basketball as well as we did.

He's probably one of the fastest kids out there and he's coming into his own. He's a solid basketball player who's going to do a lot of good things for us.

I think our kids knew they didn't play very well in that third quarter and wanted to make amends. Basketball is a fairly simple game. All we did was do a better job of passing to find the open man and get some better looks at the basket.

These girls are good athletes, not just good basketball players. We usually start slow in December. Things fell into place and we started to play good basketball.

He's been making plays for them all year. He's a really, really good player. I thought we did a good job in the first quarter, but we dug a hole for ourselves in the second quarter and couldn't get out of it. They had a lot to do with it. They're a mighty fine basketball team.

I'm extremely proud of this team. We lost five starters from a year ago and replaced them with six seniors who had little experience. They fought hard and played with a lot of heart. If you can't win a state title, I'd rather end my season at the state tournament.
