The football players brought a toughness to our team, especially to our drills in practice. We used to think that our drills were pretty tough but with these guys, we found that we could make them even tougher. |
They both had great years. They were the two best players in the league. |
We called a timeout (trailing 71-65 with 1:45 to go) and coach (Charles) Walker had the words that mattered the most. He just said, 'Ball pressure. Put pressure on the ball.' And that's what we did. |
We shouldn't have won that game. Carson outplayed us. We got lucky and hit some free throws. Our players weren't playing hard. This is not a team. We're in trouble. Take nothing away from Carson. They played hard. We didn't respond. |
We talked to him about finishing the school year here. A lot of people offered to take care of him. But family is family. Armon just wanted to be with his family. |
We tried our best to keep the ball out of J.J.'s (Mulligan) hands and we knew if somebody else stepped up, we could lose. Well, somebody else did step up. He (Van Allen) played a great game. |
We were cheering for Reno (the Huskies beat Galena 55-52 on Thursday). We wanted an all-Sierra League final. |
We're really going to need some kids to step up for us next year. The thing about Armon is that he didn't just score for us. He did so many things for us. And we were going to ask him to do even more next year. |
When things get tough, Armon is the type of kid who is just going to get mad and come at you harder. He's always going to compete. That's what I appreciate about him the most. He's never going to hang his head. He knows there are things he needs to work on to make himself better and he will. |
