The effort was there. I wasn't disappointed with the effort, the heart the kids had. It's hard to tell the kids we're happy with the loss (but) the kids did all they could tonight for the most part.

Tonight's game was kind of a wake-up call for us. The kids know we're going to come out focused, starting [today], and get back on track.

He's all about his kids and wants to provide all the opportunities he can for them. Ray has a heart the size of his body.

Our kids showed great effort and hustle and were rewarded with another game. That's the best reward today is knowing that we will be able to get in four games here.

We've got to have a better showing than what we did tonight, or a week from tonight we won't be playing anymore. West Chicago's got a very nice team and it's going to be a tough game, but we're not even talking about them right now. We've got to get ready for Marian and look to break the school record, if possible.

I didn't understand that. We've had problems with getting the ball to Elyse sometimes. She's a hot hand, but we seem to keep the ball away from her.
