Defensively, it wasn't our best, not when you give up 82 points. |
I don't think it was because of his lack of effort. But when you're the biggest kid, you're going to be a target. A lot of people are going to see your mistakes and run with them. |

We beat them by 24 earlier this season, so I think the kids felt the game against West Boca (in the 14-5A semifinal) was the championship game. |
We just didn't execute down the stretch. We had breakaway lay-ups and we didn't put them in. I mean, lay-ups. |

We were into the flow early on. We came out and got everybody involved offensively in the first quarter. We got that cushion there that you see we needed. |
We're not talking like this is a championship game, because you can't think like that, ... This just happens to be challenge of the week. |
We've been getting good play and we've gotten good contributions from our bench. |
We've never backed down from playing anyone. We've played a lot of great teams. But we never took one on the chin like that. (Wyoming Area) was a much better team than us. |
