He missed it and came back last spring. He's bought into what we're doing. We're pounding it inside to him and he's opening the game up for everybody. |
He's playing as well as anybody in our section. He's been tough inside. I think we needed an inside presence to open up our perimeter game. Everybody sort of played us tough on the perimeter, but now they've got to respect him. |
I didn't see what happened in the stands, I was watching what was happening on the court. It was a hotly contested game. |
I love this team. They play hard and never quit battling. I hope they've made a name for themselves. I think they believe and they're gaining confidence. |
I think if you defend, you can live through streaks. We shot that bad and we were still up at halftime. |
I was thinking that 35 to 40 percent of WPIAL Quad-A teams are out of the playoffs already. We're going home on the bus in first place. |
Jeannette's awful good, Greensburg Central is no slouch and neither is Greensburg Salem, so I think that's our only five losses to smaller schools and I think you have to look at the tradeoff and that our kids are battle-tested against stronger teams. I think sometimes, if you don't play a strong schedule you don't get a sense of who really are and we're ready to play. |
Most of the game we played with them. But they blocked a lot of shots, and they killed us on the boards. |
Taking (Thompson) out didn't spark us because he's one of our toughest guys. I think hitting the big threes sparked us. |
The reason we're winning is we're making foul shots, limiting our fouls and defending every [opposing] possession. |
We beat North Allegheny and our biggest sin is that we played a tough schedule. This year I don't think it matters what the numbers are because it's wide open and a lot of teams have been upset this year and you don't know what will happen. |
We didn't even know if we could score in the paint. They had trouble stopping Pat when he went to the basket. |
We'll have our hands full. They shoot the ball well and they have a good big guy (6-foot-6 center Andrew Devlin). |
When you play against a team like McKeesport, you can't play scared or they'll eat you alive. We battled them. Sure we're disappointed that we lost after having the game tied with 5 seconds left in the third quarter. But we committed too many turnovers. |
