We had our chances but we didn't play smart. And I can't blame them for that; that's my responsibility when they don't play smart. We didn't look like a well-coached team out there at times but we played hard. |
We had our chances. We just would get a run and then make mental mistakes. But (Clinton's) a well-coached basketball team with some good players. |
We had to have this one. |
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win. |
We ran the same offensive and defensive plays in the first six minutes as the rest of the game. We just started to play South Lenoir basketball. Tonight was just a good team effort. We showed a lot of heart tonight. |
We won't take people from bar to bar, but if they give us a call we will take them home. There's no way to measure how many lives this program may have saved during the years it has been in operation, but we feel that this has been a very valuable community service for everyone on the roadways during New Year's Eve and early New Year's Day. |
We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable. |
We're in a position where we're flying under the radar. We're not being talked about on TV shows. When they mention teams in the playoffs, it's like the Jaguars are the last one. That's fine. I like it that way. When we beat New England, that says it all. |
We're just so excited because we've been through a few losing seasons, where it's been just miserable around here, and now we're winning and glad we're in the playoffs. We're just happy about life right now and everything's great. |
We're more settled. A new regime means changes, and things have settled down. |
We've won five in a row, but if we start playing a little bit harder and a little bit smarter, we can be a good basketball team. We're not playing quite up to what I believe our capabilities are, but we're in a tournament and you got to win to advance. The big thing is that we got the win tonight. |
When someone passes away like that, you tend to remember that person like a saint. He wasn't a saint. But he handled himself all the time like people around him were important to him all the time. |
When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it. |
