Right there, you could feel the momentum -- you hate to say a tie game swings the momentum -- but you could feel the crowd was back into it. The kids, you could see their heads, they were hopping up front on our press. Right then I knew we had a chance to win. |
That's a good sign for us. It's coming together. I know we have some tough games to come but after a 10-day layoff, this was a good start. |
The guards did a nice job of getting the ball to our big guys. |
This was the one I wanted. I want the district championship but I wanted to get to the round where you know you have a shot to get to the next round. They're excited. After the game, they were asking, 'When's the next game?' They're ready to play. |
We definitely have to control O'Connor and we've been successful at controlling just one player but they have a couple other players who can shoot. |
We just never recovered. They make you play that game because they come out and full-court press you the whole time. That's what I'm looking for again Saturday. We know they're going to throw that at us. |
We need to make them beat us with the long ball. We can't let (Bishop Guilfoyle point guard Sean) McConnell penetrate as much as he did in the last game. He was able to get inside and get the ball to (Kevin) Floyd and Meyers. |
We scored a lot in transition. Of course it helps when you have guys 6-7, 6-8 making the outlet pass. We had some big baskets out of transition. |
We're happy that we're going on to the (state playoffs) but there hasn't been a district title ever so we'd like to hang that in the gymnasium. That'd be nice to look at. |
