Everybody in a game like this second-guesses themselves. |
I firmly believe it's one of the ? of not the ? best conference in the entire state. |
I have a fantastic group of kids. It's an honor to win such a competitive league, but there is still a lot of work to do. |
I told him, 'Mike, I've got this feeling about you, and you're going to do something big tonight,' and I'm glad it worked that way. |
They tried to take him right out of the ballgame. To his credit he didn't force it. (His teammates) can't rely on him to do everything. When people see what his teammates can do, they have to decide if you want to play Johnny that way. |
They weren't gonna stop (Jones). He was gonna be attacking the rim. He was gonna score or get fouled. This guy's clutch. This guy's a money player. |
We didn't expect that either. But we shot the ball better tonight. Yeah, we play hard and do a lot of things. But we haven't really executed and shot it like we did tonight. It was good to see because we've got some kids who can shoot it. |
We threw a few guys at (Lucas) trying to keep fresh legs, and there were a couple of times we tried to run a play at him to get him to give the basketball up and then try to not let him get it back if we could. But he seemed to get it back a little bit more than we wanted. |
We were in trouble at times, and yet our kids never quit. We got some big stops and I thought we played one of our better games tonight. |
We're a team. We've been a team all year. We've got to have other guys step up - and they did. |
