I thought they made more noise than the Houghton fans did. Myself and the team would like to thank them for coming up. |
I was concerned with they went on their run, but our team didn't quit all year and they just had the will to win somehow. |
I was disappointed with the way we came out in the first half. We weren't mentally or physically in the game. I was perplexed. We talked about that at halftime. I told them they had a shot at a share of the conference title with Houghton and they weren't playing like it. |
If you're that, all the other goals will take care of themselves. |
It's not always easy to rebound out of a zone, but we did a tremendous job of rebounding in that second half. |
It's the tournament and it's the four range rivalries. A 1-4 team could beat a 4-1 team. You never know. |
Now we start our second season -- we have our work cut out for us. |
Our starters were dead. It was just sheer will there in the end. What helped us tonight is our maturity. We're a senior-dominated team. |
Our work is cut out for us that first game. |
Pawlak is a very smart player. He's a good student. He brings that to the basketball court. He's the guy we want on the line at the end of the game. |
That was a first for one of my teams. It tells you we were settling for perimeter shots and not looking to drive and create. |
That will determine the conference. After that, we've got Bessemer and Ewen at home before the districts. |
That's a good sign and that's a bad sign, because we're down. Hopefully, it teaches the kids we're never out of it. |
That's how we take care of the ball. |
The football team set the tone with their outstanding season. |
