At first I thought there was some tension between us with the new guy coming in, but they've done a great job adjusting to my system, working with me and embracing me. I really love these guys and I'm sorry we ended this way, but they're great young men. |
Each overtime, we had the ball in the closing seconds, so we had plenty of chances. It was so crazy. I almost had a heart attack. |
I respect Garth a ton, and I know that he does a great job with those guys. Every time that we play them, I am very concerned. Sometimes the score doesn't tell the tale. Tonight we got a little bit of a jump on them early and we built a lead, but the first two games were closer. |
I'm real proud of my guys. I know they wanted to come away with the win, but they played hard and they really worked hard to get here this season. It's the first team in a while that's done that at our school and I think the seniors deserve a ton of credit. |
It's likely that by the end of the year, the staff will recommend to the commission that the commission propose changes. |
Park did a great job. They came out really ready to play and I thought coach (Josh Wolf) did a really good job of having them just enough fired up, but just enough under control and calm. I thought they exhibited that in the game, and we didn't. |
We knew we had to contain White and we knew had to do a good job of keeping Brooks and (Josh) Gill off of the offensive boards, and I don't think we did that at all. I thought we did that well in our game at home. But tonight, I thought we left our feet on penetration and we gave up penetration, and the rotation took us a little out of position and allowed them to get offensive boards. It was a frustrating situation because we didn't adjust to it. |
We thought we could pressure them and we think we are capable of taking away penetration. I thought in the third quarter we did the job. |
We've really grown together this season. There's been some rough spots but we've pulled through and now we're playing for a championship. |
