He has stepped up for us all year. For a kid that played sparingly last year to step in and take care of the ball -- he just does a great job. He takes care of the ball, doesn't force anything and when he has to, he knocks down his free throws. |
I don't usually call a lot of timeouts. I like to keep the game going. I just felt like the way our kids were playing all night tonight, especially defensively, I thought we could get back into the game. We have been a little impatient the last couple of games, but we did a nice job tonight. We took care of the basketball and got back into it. |
It's a great achievement. He wasn't born with it, he's worked hard for it. He's a gym rat, always in the gym working. He enjoys the game of basketball and has earned everything he's gotten. |
That second title means a lot. The kids have worked hard to get the program to succeed. Now we've got some great youth programs coming up. We knew Greenwood was very good. Their guards are tough and they shoot the ball well. We had to match their intensity. |
They're a good team. They beat us twice this year and they beat us twice last year. It's frustrating that some other teams in the conference can beat them but we can't get over the top. I don't know if it's just the style of play, or what. |
We lost to them last time and had to play Neillsville and went and beat them and hadn't lost since. I'm confident that our kids will rebound, but it's not going to be easy. Four of our last five games are on the road, so we've got to do our job. |
