The big thing will be rebounding. We've keyed on that every game. We have to rebound. And we can't let Graham go off and have a big game. He's going to score, he's too good to hold down, but we just can't let him go crazy.

The key to our team is getting everyone to contribute like they did tonight. It definitely showed. We didn't play our best but it was enough and Herrin, for having a 2-22 record, is a tough team. We're happy to get this win.

The kids had goals and that was one of the goals. We wanted to be undefeated at home.
|
The one bright spot I was pleased with was our free throw shooting. We were 20-for-25 from the line.

They gave him a technical and I really don't know why, to tell you the truth. I don't think (the referee) could explain it very well either. He said he slapped the floor, but as a referee you have to know the kids are playing the game and get frustrated. (Hood) didn't say anything to the ref. I thought it was a terrible call.

They're like us in that they're not real big overall, but they play hard like we do. They just try to play the basics of basketball and that's what we do. We'll have two teams that fight until the end.
|
This is an athletic, strong kid who will just get better at the next level. I think his best days are ahead of him.

This was a tough game to get up for tonight. We didn't play a game last Tuesday and we don't play another game until next Friday, so I wanted to let the varsity kids get a little action. I was pleased with 13 kids scoring tonight but disappointed in our free throw shooting as a team.

This was more important than the tournament. This goes throughout the whole season and means we've played good basketball the whole way. A team can get hot in the tournament for a few days, like we did this year, but this is even better.
|
We can't complain. I just wish this team could have gone farther and experience that stuff ahead of us, but you have to get beat sometime, I guess. Our fans were great. They showed up tonight and that was good to see. I just hope they realize what kind of year we had. This was a really good year and I'm proud of them.

We did a better job of running things than we did against Benton. And Herrin's defense was pretty good — it was better than Benton's.
|
We felt like we gave the game to them the last time we played. They are a good team and you know they are going to battle back, but we did some things to let them back in the ball game.
|
We got beat by poor shooting. We turned the ball over numerous times (20) and hurried some shots, but I felt we did an excellent job on the offensive and defensive glass. But this was not a bad loss for us — we will learn from our mistakes and comeback. We got beat by a good team tonight.
|
We struggled on offense, but we kept playing defense and kept getting stops. I thought we controlled the boards and our defense was good tonight.
|
We tried to make them shoot the ball — and they shot the ball. I didn't think (Ackley) could shoot like that and he knocked two shots down to get things started.
