(Central) cut it close, but we were able to pull it out. Any time you can win on the road, that's big. |
(The team) played hard, and it was good to see them come together. I'm really proud of our seniors. They came out and hit some big shots. |
I know we will need personal hygiene items and international telephone calling cards to keep in contact with our families. |
It's hard for me to say how we played. In close games, I worry more about coaching than the players. Alexander Central played hard, harder than us at times, but I'm proud of how we executed down the stretch. |
More than the win, I'm proud that we played hard, and played together. |
The first ten possessions of the second half are important, and I was pleased that we came out and showed a lot of effort (to open up the second half). |
We got after it in the fourth quarter, and showed more intensity than the first three (periods). |
We got behind early, and it seemed like the harder we tried, the worse the breaks would get. |
We had a stretch where we had some turnovers. But (the players) kept their heads up and maintained intensity throughout the game. |
We played with a lot of energy, played hard, but we made some poor decisions. McDowell's one of the best teams in the conference, and we have to strive to get to that level. |
We will have played four different teams three times this year. We played Freedom, Newton-Conover and Alexander Central three times, and now South Caldwell. |
We're a young team, we've got to learn from our mistakes. Hopefully, we can get out of a situation like that quicker. |
