Any time you go to Central Oregon, you aren't terribly unhappy with a split. What we are disappointed with is that we worked hard all year to win a league championship, and we may have lost that (with the loss to Redmond).

I think Sam was a bit awe-struck at the start of the game, but he settled down well. He settled down well when we drew some plays up for him, and he stepped up.
|
It was really a dull, walk-the-ball-up-and-down-the-floor kind of game. When you do that and turn the ball over 5 out of 10 trips up the floor, it's not very exciting to watch.
|
Our guys worked extremely hard, we thought well enough to win the game. We just made mental mistakes sometimes. Our effort was 100 percent and our mental game was probably 90 percent, but that's okay. Most teams will play 70 to 80 percent of both those.

Sam didn't play like a sophomore tonight. He played a lot like a seasoned senior.
|
The refs decided to let the kids make the plays down the stretch. We're not going to dwell on (the apparent non-calls), and the refs probably took the right approach (to the end of the game).
|
These seniors knew that we expected two things from them: commitment and team-first (attitude). These underclassmen know from watching the seniors.
|
This is the first off-season where I look ahead and feel real comfortable that we'll be good next season.
|
We can't think about anything but the next game in order to win a championship. We need to win this next game.
|
We didn't make real good decisions down the stretch. We tried to force the ball. But defensively, Corvallis made plays. That's what you've got to do when you're down going into the fourth quarter.
|
We had about a three-week stretch where we weren't playing very well at all. We thought we played well enough to beat Crook County, and it didn't work out, but we're playing better. We just need to bottle the passion we play with against Pendleton and use it in the rest of our games.
|
We just keep making so many mental mistakes. I think the kids are tired. It's a long season, and we hadn't played at home in almost a month. But we need to play better than this to beat Crook County; they're playing very well right now.
|
We just weren't as assertive as we were against the man defense. We really didn't get that swagger back until about halfway through the third quarter when Grogan hit an open jumper, and we were fine from there.
|
We want to continue to play well coming into the playoffs.
