After last year I think these guys wanted to show they were a better team. They were excited to get a chance to come out and show this was a new year. |
Antonio hit some really big shots tonight. And he really got us going on defense, too. |
Being from the southern part of the state, the kids don't get the same recognition as they do up in Indianapolis, and I understand that. Maybe this will help improve their stock. |
I don't know if that's the case or not. It's a nice record, and it leads us into the tournament in the right way. |
I wasn't really nervous. You're anxious. You're hoping that your team will execute. I thought for the most part that our kids handled it pretty well. |
Our goals are we want to win it all, we want to be a state champion, and we want to make sure we're doing things well on the floor and off the floor as well. |
The kids really deserve this. We've just got to step it up on the defensive end. |
The way both teams played you would have hated to see either team lose. It was just a fantastic game. Both teams gave it all they had and that's what it's all about. |
They're very deserving kids, they work hard and they have the skills. This may open up some options for them down the road. |
We definitely had a very dangerous route through the sectional. But you've just got to find ways to win and these kids have done a great job of stepping up and finding a way of getting it done. |
We knew Buckner was a big key. We were hoping to pressure him and wear him down. I think we did. Our kids did a nice job putting pressure on them and hitting some nice shots late in the third quarter. |
We set the bar pretty high in the preseason. We wanted to win the sectional, so our expectations were pretty high. I don't think this completely surprises any of the guys on our team. |
We've got a team (in Jennings County) we definitely won't take for granted. They did a nice job. |
