We defended Roeder very well. We held him to no field goals in the second half. But we put them on the line too much.

We had our chances and at the end, we got some goals. Marietta attacked well, and we gave Marietta too many chances. But we hung in there and scored when we needed to.

We realize we're a long ways from achieving the goals we want this season. It's always good to start with a win, but we've got a lot of other things to accomplish this year. The first one is nice, but the last one is the one everybody remembers.

We've been waiting for this all year. It was one of our goals entering the season, to perform well at districts. Now we have one more day and then we look forward to states.

It's one of those depressing defeats because we played well in every aspect, but we just shot horrible.

We picked up the pace in the fourth quarter because we had to. We were able to make some plays and make some shots in the last quarter. But that second quarter really put us in a tough situation.
