It was just the heart and soul of my kids. We're a young team, and we've been getting caught up when other teams get big runs. We got the kids to realize that we get those runs, too.

I think that is a horrible way to decide the game. I'm not saying he didn't hold him, but he easily could have called a foul, given him the one-on-one and let the kids decide the basketball game.

He was just too athletic for us.

We're 15-11 and a lot of teams with 11 losses aren't playing at this time of the year and that is a testament to those kids in that locker room. They never quit. For a team that wasn't expected to be here, I'm proud of these kids.

I thought he was the best big man out there on the floor tonight. Sam played very, very well.

We have one more shot to get in. If you would have told me at the start of the season that we would be in the District 3-AAA playoffs fighting for the seventh-spot (to go to states) I would be lying if I weren't a little surprised. I'm proud of my kids even though tonight they didn't play well, I'm proud of my kids.
