Defensively we were pretty tough. We held them to 37 percent shooting, but offensively we never could get going. That's a credit to them. |
It is the Pac-9 and on any night anything can happen. |
It was a great game for Nick Martin. We wanted to reward him for his hard work. |
Our defense got us rhythm and it got us confidence. You look at Chehalis and they can really fill it up. We fed off our defense. |
Our seniors are going to have to guide us the rest of the way. |
That start was critical for us. We were struggling defensively. They're so quick. Offensively, we were fortunate to knock down the shots. |
The kids came out and attacked and had fun as a group. I was proud of the way they played and cheered for each other. |
Their defense never allowed us to get in a rhythm. We were playing a little fast, a little nervous. |
We control our destiny still, and that's all you can ask for. |
We got a good spark from Dillon Clark off the bench. Jeff Sego's leadership was awesome. |
We kept cutting the lead to four, then we got it to two, but we just couldn't get over the hump. Centralia is a good team. They're tough to play. |
We knew we had played a good 16 minutes. We also knew the next 16 was even bigger. Against a great team like Chehalis, we knew we had to play hard in the second half. |
You couldn't ask for a better teammate. And I think all of the other guys would say the same thing. |
You just knew Thurston was going to come back. Even at 18-2, I knew it was going to be something like this. That's what playoff basketball is. |
