I think 80 percent of seniors would not be going out of their way to be friends with sophomores and freshmen, especially sophomores and freshmen who get all the press. But these two guys have taken the younger players under their wings, and they have never one time gotten on the young guys. They deserve so much credit. |
If you're going to be small, you'd better do things well fundamentally. It's very important to spread the floor and let penetration, quickness and shooting dictate the outcome. |
It's very satisfying to see seniors get this far. We're very proud of our young guys who were able to step up and compete against some good players. |
Our kids played extremely hard. (Harding) just shot so well. |
There's always something you can point to after a loss and I think tonight our decision making was horrible and we had poor shot selections. But give Goshen the credit. They didn't give up when they were behind. They just kept coming at us. |
They're a couple of special guys. |
We are not quite big enough to defend the post one-on-one. When they make the first few like that, that puts a lot of strain on our defense to go from post to recovering out on the perimeter. |
We wanted to incorporate the grow-in-four-days game plan, but it didn't work. We are going to go back to our old faithful. I told our kids at the beginning of the year that once you are short, it doesn't matter how much shorter you are, to a certain degree. We are shorter every time. (The Hawks) aren't quite as big as some of the other teams we have faced. But they are substantially bigger than us, and we realize that. |
