As good as we were (Thursday) night percentage-wise, tonight our foul shooting nearly brought us down. Our guards turned things up in the fourth, and once we hit a couple 3-pointers, we finally started playing Bethel basketball. |
He was our best on-the-ball defender last year, but he was not the consistent offensive player he is now. |
He's an example for all kids as to what can happen through hard work. He's a kid who has played himself to a scholarship this year. |
I always knew that he was ready to head up his own team. |
I could see how people would think 'rebuilding year' for us. But we've got a good group coming back. |
I guess you could say it's kind of like being in jail. |
I like to keep up with his progress. I am rooting for them every game that they're not playing us. I've got to. |
I said when we see him, we'll take it to him just like anyone else. He laughed it off, but he's a competitor like I am. We don't get caught up in the hype of it. I know that I'm going to give my best effort every time I'm on that sideline and he will too. |
I think that we'll surprise people who think that we'll be down. We'll be a step ahead of the curb more than people think. |
I've got to know that. |
If they lose the game, they run a lot of sprints. Most of the time they come back and win. It's an intensity thing for our first group. |
It could be wide open. |
It was good to see Terry shoot it like that. That's Terry being his usual self. It was good because I didn't have to yell. |
It's a testament to his hard work. |
Lady luck was obviously on our side tonight. I don't expect to get into the regional and blow anyone out. You've just got to play hard and give it your best shot. The team who swings the hardest is going to win. |
