Arcata is poised to strike. They've lost some tough games and they would like nothing more than to knock us off.

Del Norte will do whatever it takes to win. They're a very physical and tough team but we had our opportunities and just couldn't cash in. We've played in a lot of close games this year and we've won the majority of them, but this time we didn't.

Fortuna always plays us tough here. For whatever reason, they're tougher than nails here and tonight was no exception. Fortuna's a quick team and they have some strong players but our guys knew our position in conference right now and they really stepped up.

I attribute our success to just having a solid combination of players over the last few years. We have always had outstanding players we've been able to rely on. I've been coaching since 1973, I've been around the block a little bit and I have an idea of where the gyms are around here, so I just make sure they get there and let them do the rest.

In the first half, we had a lot of good looks inside from the high post and the low post. Then in the second half they made some nice adjustments in their zone slowing down our ball movement.
|
It was a good thing we were able to keep them from scoring points in the first half because our shooting was terrible. We were getting every possible look we wanted but just couldn't knock them down.
|
It was exactly the kind of game I expected. Sometimes the ball doesn't seem as round as it looks but we'll live to fight another day. I'm still proud of my team and what they've accomplished this year.

It's absolutely terrific to play in front of a crowd like this. It's the way high school basketball is supposed to be played. The band, the fans and the energy, it was great.

It's surprising to hear President Bush has any interest in environmental preservation. It's plain that he, his vice president and his cronies are oil men through and through. But if he's got fossil-fuel aversion, it's never too late.
|
Like we've always said, we have a lot of guys that score from anywhere on the court at any time. Our guys are starting to get a better feel for each other and they know who can do what, and where.
|
Montgomery is a very good, disciplined team offensively and defensively. They stay within themselves at all times, they're patient, and they try and get the best look at the basket they can every time down the floor.
|
My guys are able to overcome losing a tough game. It was a tough situation last night but they're remarkably mature and ready to move forward.
|
No one we saw in league even compared to him. He has great vision on the court and the ability to find his teammates.
|
One of the keys for us this game was Norton tying up Biggs. He (Biggs) got his points but David did a great job limiting what he could do by not letting him get the ball.
|
Our players are aware of everything surrounding the game. But our job as coaches is to keep the players focused on the task at hand. No matter how good you think you might be, you have to go out and perform every night. But right now they're really motivated and excited for the opportunity.
