It was a great high school basketball game. Both teams played very hard. I'm very pleased with our effort tonight.

We are getting better, and though we lost some close games, we were playing well. It has been one of the most enjoyable years working with these kids. These kids come to practice every day, all 12 of them, and work hard. This win was a nice reward.

You try to prepare for it as well as you can, but with their quickness, I don't think you can. They're very, very quick and very athletic.

I'm not disappointed in our effort at all. We just got beat by a great basketball team.

The effort was really good, they were just a little bit better tonight. That's a nice basketball team. They've got a nice mix of inside and the ability to shoot it with some good quickness.

Since it wasn't working out in basketball, I wanted to make every effort to make it in track and be on the same team with my brother.
