Again, our guys off the bench stepped up. We knew we were going to have to get stops. We started doubling Knowles and I think that was effective. |
As a youngster he was very average at best. He hardly played in middle school. But through hard work and dedication, Micah made himself into a player. |
Campbell County will play extremely hard. They're going to get after us and we're going to have to handle the ball better than we did tonight or we're not going to be happy with the outcome. |
He's just worked his rear end off to make himself a player the last four years, and he's the heart and soul of our team and we are going to miss him immensely next year. |
I couldn't be any more proud of a group of kids. We have outstanding kids. We're just so happy that they will get to experience that. |
I think (Scott County) came in very motivated, tonight. They were upset about losing their last game at Lexington Catholic and they came into this game with a little emotion. They really got after us and we didn't respond whatsoever. I was concerned about the way we practiced the last two days and, to me, that's where it all started. |
I thought our effort was pretty good, defensively. They play that crazy zone and they really pressure the ball. We just did not pass the ball crisply to get people good looks. When we did get good looks, we didn't knock them down. |
I thought that they just did an outstanding job of guarding us in the half-court, we just did not get any easy baskets. They did a great job of keeping us off the offensive glass (and) we didn't get any second chance opportunities. |
I'm proud of our effort. They get it out quick and advance it down the floor ... finally we got some stops to get back in the game. |
Most people will not connect the two. Most people haven't heard of the school. |
People love to root for the underdog. |
There are just some nights that you just don't put the ball in the hole and, tonight, we certainly didn't do that. We just have to be a little bit smarter and get better. |
We can play with anybody. We have enough offensive power ... and we're just gonna keep getting better. |
We had a chance there (at the end). Hopefully our guys can learn from it and get better. |
We just didn't answer the bell. We didn't come out ready to handle their physical play. We knew that's what they were going to do because that's what Scott County always does. Our turnovers led to some easy baskets for them. We're disappointed in our effort, but we're going to put this one behind us and move on. |
