He's a tough guy. He had to be with all the punishment he was taking. |
I guess it's something that has kind of developed, ... By the time the game starts, coach Reggie and I have studied the opponent so much I know the percentages of what a team will do on third down or second down or out of a certain formation. When you look at football scientifically and probabilities you can guess right. And sometimes it's just common sense. When they've got three or four guys over here and one over there, you can guess the ball is going over there. |
I just fought off a block, he tried to run me over, actually and he just didn't make it. |
I think we're a team of destiny. I really do feel that way because every senior on our team has been together since the sixth grade. And we all said in the sixth grade that we will be at the final four. And it just happened that way, and I feel like this is our year. |
I thought we played hard at times but our execution was not very good. We felt that they were bigger but I thought we were faster. They turned it in to a half court game and they beat us. We just didn't make the plays we needed to make in order to win the game. |
I was always the kid in school that teachers were getting after to be quiet. My report card had math, A, reading, A, spelling, A, science, A, conduct, F. I was always talking to somebody. They would always take me and put me over in a corner by myself. |
I'm gonna give him all the credit he deserves because he's a beast down there. It's hard because he's long and he goes up perfectly with your shot and if you wait (to shoot) he's still long enough to get over anything. He's just a good basketball player down low. |
It means a whole lot to me. I set my goals for that. Coming into high school as a freshman, I set my goals high...the only one I didn't accomplish this year was a ring. |
It only gets called if the officials see it. I saw it. I had to hold Elvis back. But the right people didn't see it, so Vick got to keep on playing. |
nine or 10 touchdowns. |
Oh yeah. Forty-five free throws explains it. |
One thing freshmen learn right at the beginning is the importance of service to others. |
Same script, different cast, ... very legitimate. We have athletes at every position. |
The heart that our team has, you can't measure it. We were down by four with a minute left (in the fourth quarter) and me and all the seniors all stepped up we have a will to win and a will not to lose that is incredible. It's been unbelievable how we play under pressure this year. |
These guys are fantastic. There are no complainers here. This is hard work, but they have a servant's heart, working together. |
