He played great. He really never slowed down. He's had two really great games back-to-back. I'm happy for him. |
I think he just took over the team when we were in trouble. Any time a team really got after us, he just grabbed the ball and beat the press all by himself. |
It was a credit to (Sleepy Eye's) defense. They played tight, but it cost them. |
It?s neat that it happened to be them. And, now they won the national title. |
Martinez is tough on (defending) the ball. He?s very quick and a good defender. |
That's the way the game is. You play through it. |
These kids were here for a purpose. They were on a mission. |
They will want a track meet. |
Those little plays make a difference in close games. There was a series where all the guys made plays. |
We controlled the tempo in the first half. In the second, we just didn't execute. |
We had balanced scoring, and we never let (Ellsworth) get on a big run. |
We had great effort. Not everything was perfect, but we played hard. |
We had to make improvements to get where we needed to be. Playing those 25-game schedules, you don't have a lot of practice times to tweak things. |
We just didn't handle the pressure well. They're quicker than we are. We didn't want to get in a game where we had to chase them. |
We need some tests and we got one tonight. This is why you come to these tournament. You want to play games like this against good teams. |
