A scout who's watched both teams figures Houghton is about 10 points better than us, so we'll have our work cut out for us. |
Again, it was a total team effort by our ball club. I'm really proud of the boys' effort. |
All these guys are good basketball players. |
Any of the five is capable of scoring in the 20s. |
At halftime, I told the boys I was very disappointed in our play in the first half, especially since we had first place in the West PAC on the line. We came out flat. We didn't look good at all. |
Bessemer was missing a few players, but they always play hard. |
Bessemer went to a zone and we answered with threes. We shot very well in the second quarter. |
He has a good shooting touch for a big man. |
He started and I told him to let me know. |
He took over the game offensively and defensively. |
He's 6-2, but he plays likes he's 6-6 with his jumping ability. |
Houghton came in ready tonight. They were a different team than the last time they played us. I was impressed by Houghton's intensity. |
I can't say enough about these guys. We've got great senior leadership and continue to battle as a team. They play as one and it shows. |
I think Bessemer is playing better basketball than anybody thought they would. We have our work cut out for us. |
I thought our press really was working and we got a lot of turnovers. On offense, we ran the floor well on offensive transition. We got a lot of fast breaks and that enabled us to get the big lead. |
