Our defense did a great job of shutting them down but our offense really helped our defense tonight because they (Gladstone) didn't have the ball,

Our defense set the tone, ... We moved to the ball real well. We also had some excellent execution on offense, especially in the first quarter.

I like every aspect of defense; I enjoy shutting down the offense.

The ball movement really helped our offense tonight and my game as well. We did what coach Painter asked and that was move the ball well.

We started out slow on offense, but I thought our defense held us in. It could have been a 20-point quarter, but we held them to 8. We played a lot better in the second quarter. We loosened up and got it down to a manageable deficit. It was only four a halftime.

Defensively, we really showed up tonight. We did a great job at both ends of the floor. Our offense dictated our defense, and our defense was very solid.
