(North Branford) played well. They're physical inside and we were looking for calls that we weren't going to get instead of just playing hard. |
(Westbrook) plays hard and they don't quit. This is the kind of game where you get in and you think you're just going to win it and then you make a few mistakes and you're not going to have a good game. We wanted to show tonight that we can play and to get ready for the next game. |
All of a sudden we went from the penthouse to the outhouse. |
He did it in three years too and I think I only had one other player that did that. Joe's really been the heart and soul of our team this year. He's shooting a great percentage because he gets shots inside. But tonight he stepped outside and hit a couple and that's going to help him. |
I just hope we haven't peaked. I still see room for improvement. We've been playing basically five kids and they could get tired this time of the year. But they just have to suck it up and get through it. |
It should have been our ball underneath. |
It was our best game of the year. |
It was such a team effort. |
It's been a while since a team has won it back-to-back. We've got two games to go to do it. We'll give it a shot. |
Kyle can be a big time player if he keeps working at it. He's 6-5, he runs and jumps well. He can move. |
Kyle played big for us down the stretch, not just with the foul shots, but a couple of big rebounds. He had the kind of game you'd expect out of your second-leading scorer. He's been pretty solid for us this season. |
Over the past three years or so, it's really become a good rivalry. They've had a good team and we've had a good team. And we've played some good games. (Tonight) I think at first we were both trying to feel each other out. It made for a low-scoring game. We like to play faster, but under control. At times we got out of control. |
Some of the threes were unbelievable. But we gave them the opportunity to get it. |
That could have hurt us. Thanks god we had a big enough lead. |
That was our best game of the year. And tonight might have been our second best. |
