(Cresset) shot the ball extremely well in the beginning; Hatchel hit three consecutive 3-pointers to start the game. Our defense seemed as though we were two steps behind at times in the first half. But I was pleased that our team didn't quit in the second half. |
A game like this helps everybody. It was a sigh of relief. Today was a great confidence boost. |
Balanced scoring and good defense down the stretch made the difference. We showed some poise and protected the ball at the end. |
Cape Fear played a good game with some balanced scoring. I'm sad to see the season end, and I wish our seniors the best. |
Congratulations, first and foremost. And just be ready when you come up this way. |
During our pre-game, I knew we were in trouble because of the way that we started. Even before the whistle blew, I could tell by the way they were handling themselves. Right off the bat, the flow wasn't there. |
Every time we looked up to the scoreboard (in practice), it was up there as a reminder of how bad we got beat. |
First of all, I want to let you know that sitting out of last year's bowl, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. To me, this year's seniors, this group of guys on the field, that's what it was about. I don't like taking a lot of credit for what goes on on the field because it takes 11 guys. |
From my standpoint I'm going to try the hardest that I can to get the ball to the receivers in a position where they can get the ball and make a play. |
Guys came off the edge, and I was just trying to stay alive. I saw Gonzalez pop open down the sideline, and I just tried to get him the ball as fast as I could. |
He is a smash-mouth kind of player who will hit you when he gets a chance. You gotta be on the edge every time you see him. |
He's just got the heart of a lion. He just competes and competes and competes. |
I admire tough guys. All around, he's a great quarterback. He makes plays when he has to. He's pretty much the complete package. So I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two of us. He's leading a school with great tradition and so am I. |
I believe that every time we get out on the field we should score 42 points. It's not necessarily a letdown if we don't, but we have the weapons to do so. |
I don't sway to it. I just try to stay the course in the development of our team. I can't look somewhere else right now. My focus right now is on this team and being where we need to be coming out of this spring. |
