Once we got the lead we put the ball in the hands of one of the better guards in Ohio. Even though he was double-teamed all night, he got 38 points and got the others involved. It might not sound like it when he has 38 of our 61, but he hit the other guys at the right time. |

That was good stuff. It was a great crowd and that's what high school basketball is all about. |
That will give us another tough presence. We're a little deeper with him. |
There have been a lot of great coaches and players come through the program and I'm proud to have been a part of the 1,000th win. To be one of the 30 or 40 programs in the state to have 1,000 wins is a great honor. |
They're probably on the locker room floor right now because they're spent. |
This team has some pretty good chemistry. They've faced some adversity and they keep plugging along. |
We don't have guys go to college to play ball. We have good athletes who buy into what we're doing and play hard. You have a couple good players and a bunch of guys that accept their roles, you can have a pretty good team every year. |
We got a little careless there at the end. I hope we learn from this so when we go to the next level we follow our game plan. I thought our kids did a nice job of making adjustments and rebounding. That's a good team we played. We're playing some pretty good basketball right now. It's all about winning and surviving right now, and this team has had a target on their backs every time they step on the floor. When you score 101 points in a district final -- that's pretty good. |
We had a foul to give and we were trying to knock the ball away and get under two seconds to make them take a wild shot. I thought if the lob to Reed wasn't there, their guard would step out on a backside screen and catch it and shoot it. Hopefully, we can learn from that when the situation arises again. But guys stepped it up when we needed to, and I'm very proud of them. |
We made some adjustments the second half and went man-to-man and not much zone. |
We were playing for No. 30 tonight. That was our motivation. He's a three-year starter and he's been denied half his senior year. |
We worked all week focusing on half-court defense and rebounding because you're going to have nights where you don't shoot well. It was a great week of practice. We sat down and played defense. |
We've had him on a stationary bike and he's been shooting around, but he hasn't been practicing with us. |
We've had some good players, but we've had a lot of good role players to go along with them. |
