If Nelson keeps working at things and keeps believing in himself, he can go a long way.

That's the only negative about this. These kids have been working hard all year for a win like this. It's just too bad it had to come on Mike's night.

This was a big win for us. We stepped up and played with a lot of energy tonight. We made some turnovers at the end, but we came together and played well.

The biggest thing is that we out rebounded them. We did a pretty good job on the boards. We pressured the ball with our man-to-man defense and rebounded. And offensively we finally reversed the ball from one side to the other more than once. We had a couple of real good days of practice this week. Hopefully we can build from this and get ready for the rest of the season. Our next three games will be a test of our hard work and if it will pay off. We face T.F. North, Thornwood and Thornton.

I was just listening to my coach. He told me to quit thinking about my shot and just shoot it n let the game come to me.

We didn't execute down the stretch. We didn't rebound during key possessions and that cost us the game.
