He brings a lot of toughness at both ends of the court. And the guys respond to him well as a leader.

He said it hurts pretty bad.

I think just getting out of the funk we were in and putting together some momentum was the big thing. Once you get a good taste of winning, it's a lot harder to give it up.
|
I think we're improving. But you hate to lose a game, and especially one you could have won.
|
It comes down to work ethic. He was focused on fundamentals and drills that were going to make him a better post player.
|
It took us a while to get our rhythm without Jansen in the middle. But I don't think you can say enough about our character, fighting back to take the lead.

Once he got a little taste of it, he felt like he was going to be tough to stop, and he was. Once he got that confidence, it carried right into the high school season.

The great thing is he has so much more room to develop. The strides he made this year are just an indication of what he can do next year.

They were pretty impressive defensively. They must have altered or blocked almost every shot we took inside. That was the longest team we've seen.
|
They're strong inside. They've got a couple of 6-foot-8 guys, and they kind of remind me of Lake Marion. But they're beatable. They're not invincible.

We just had to relight the fire. We got a little lethargic for a while, but the kids got their focus back. When they're focused, they're at their best.
|
We knew what they were going to do. We got a chance to set up our defense. We got a hand up and everything, but they just knocked down the shot. They shot the lights out tonight. I don't remember them missing.
|
We told the guys they'll wake up Sunday morning and it's a new day. I just hope we can get our focus back.
|
We would love to get a home game. And I think we will. I think we can go to Manning and Timberland and take care of business.

We're probably playing our best basketball of the year. But we don't want to blow it out of proportion. North Charleston comes in here Friday with the best post player in the state, and that's a whole different ball of wax.
