We had a tough time stopping them tonight. Martindale had 20 of their 29 points in the first half and they all came on put-backs. He didn't have a shot outside of 2 feet.

They are a five seed and we are a 12 and we had to play on their home floor and that's always tough in sectionals. They are a very athletic team, a very veteran team that starts five seniors. They are very unselfish and they rebound extremely well.

Steve had a nice last game for his career; he competed hard in the low post. We needed a couple of other guys to step up. We just didn't have enough weapons tonight.

Newark Valley is big inside, and they got a lot of good looks and offensive rebounds. We really struggled from the perimeter.

I think we had been as focused as you can get from any group for a substantial period of time. The schedule is demanding, but you can't ever use these things as an excuse. We got a little bit away from the basics and when you play a little tired, whether it's mentally or physically, you can't get away from what makes your game go. When you do that, you make mistakes.

We talked about a lot of things over a period of time. It was just he and I.
