(Jefferson) made that run at us and we just wanted to make some shots. We got some shots and some lay ups and just kept playing our defense. |
As he got older, he became stronger and his speed improved. He also grew defensively. |
At halftime, I told them not to come out of the locker room unless they would come fight, scratch, claw, whatever they had to do until the end of the game. |
He has always been a good shooter. After he got about halfway through his junior varsity year, we saw he could be a good player because he could shoot the ball. |
I am proud of the guys on our team. They did everything I could ask for. |
I learned a long time ago that rankings don't mean all that much. All I know is that we're (one of two teams left). And that's the only ranking that matters. |
I think we're a decent basketball team. I hope we can get better. |
I wish we could have made our shots early. But our defense early was the difference. Our defense won the game for us. |
I'm just proud of my kids, how we kept battling when the game was tight, and we were able to pull away. |
If I told you what I said, you would have to use a lot of those shift keys on the keyboard. It was my fault. I got frustrated and said things I shouldn't. |
It makes you feel good that people are pulling for you. |
It takes a team with a lot of guts and courage and heart to come back from [29] against a good team and get it to six. I'm proud of my kids. They have as much heart as any team I've ever coached. |
Of course you always think you can get there, but I didn't really know if this might be a possibility at the beginning. But the kids, they got better every day. |
Our kids showed heart, but Eastside played very hard and physically. They were the better team today and deserved to win. |
Our kids worked hard for everything they got this year. I would love to get the first half back in the finals, but that is the sport. Every day, every single day, these guys showed up for practice and worked hard to succeed. |
