That's the game of basketball. We could have quit when we're down seven but they kept trying to make plays. You keep trying and maybe the ball will roll your way sometime.

District basketball is about playing under pressure. The pressure got to us.

We do have a pretty big advantage with Sharon having been a Miss Indiana Basketball and having been a high school coach in the state. Everyone knows her and respects her abilities.

This game ranks right up there with one of the most painful losses I've ever experienced as a coach. I so thoroughly enjoyed being around this group of young men. To see it end, it hurts.

We didn't play well, but the bottom line was our guys never quit. They kept fighting back, and that's a tribute to them.

That was a big factor. They really hurt us on the offensive boards and got too many second-chance points.
