Every three was a dagger. There was no way we could respond to that. He was Superman tonight. |
Guys have to come through. Those are great shots. Those are shots that we want. Anytime you get into the lane like that, it's breaking down their defense. We just have to finish, go to the line. |
He never had it, but he's really worked on it. We told him, all of our point guards can shoot. If it's an open look, we want him to shoot it. |
He plays great defense. He fights, he scratches, he claws. He had a great game. |
He was young and he had some problems. Now, he's starting to get that chip (on his shoulder). Once he gets that chip, I think he's really going to take off. |
I can't say anything but positive things about these kids. They could have had a letdown. Streamwood hasn't won a game, but we came out and we were the aggressors. |
I think we made a positive stride in how we played. We challenged every pass. If we make some of those interior shots, things go the other way. It was a step in the right direction, except for the fouling. We know that. |
I want to win the state championship. That's the ultimate goal. |
I'm extremely proud of our effort. I think that's as hard as we've ever played. |
In our conference, everybody is going to battle each other. People are going to get knocked off all the time. If we can stay ahead of the game, it's only going to make things easier later on. |
It was one of best games of the year. I think it was one of the best high school games of the year -- two great teams going at it. |
It's a good win, especially after we had a tough defeat (in the Feb. 21 semifinals) against Larkin. We wanted to play for a championship, but we'll take third place. Elgin has been playing great basketball, but we just found a way to win. |
It's been balanced all year. We've got six guys with over 200 shots (attempted). They're coming from every which way. |
Mike had 20 (points) against these guys last time. When he's in the game, we want to go inside and get him as many touches (as we can). |
That play (block) took the air out of Elgin. |
