The boys played an exceptional ballgame. We are a young team with only one senior and a lot of young players, but we are steadily improving and gaining confidence.

I think we played a great game. Even though we were scoreless in the second quarter the boys didn't quit.

We stepped up our defense and stopped fouling. We've been a little sluggish, but we played a lot better. The second half of this game prepares us real well. It prepares us for close situations.

It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.

We are a different team with him in the ballgame, so we need him healthy.

We have a relatively young team with Keith Overton (160-pounder) the only senior starter.
