He hasn't met a shot he wouldn't take, and he loves to play the game. He's worked real hard on his defensive game, and it shows. |
I didn't like the feel of the game. We were a little passive on offense and we looked lost. We needed to get organized and I liked the way they came back. |
I love it. That's OK with me. It's a team game. |
I would've preferred if ours was the last shot. But we had a good look, and we had the guy shooting that we wanted to. |
I'm pleased. Obviously we're disappointed with the loss, but hopefully the kids enjoyed it and had a good time. Now we'll have to work hard and get better next year. |
It came down to heart. These kids are competitors and I'm proud of them. |
It's tough, they're real down right now. They felt like something was taken from them -- at least a chance. |
Kansas as a whole is mostly rural. How can we develop this model in a much more rural population? How do you do this in Hays, Great Bend, Salina? That's the next big issue. |
The kids played well. Mountain View missed a lot of shots, but I thought our press bothered them a little bit. We tried to keep it out of the middle and I think we did a pretty good job. We stress defense. If you play defense and play hard, you always give yourself a chance. |
These players have talked to each other and they definitely want to win region. If they play together, they can do it. This was a great win, but there's still one more. |
They understood what was going on and they were frustrated. We just had to take care of the ball. We settled for too many outside shots. We are still learning to find out what our strengths are. |
They're good shooters. They just missed. But our kids played their hearts out. |
We always thought we'd have to expand -- we just didn't know it'd be that soon. |
We are a balanced team. That is how we are. We have to spread the ball around. |
We didn't turn the ball over in the second half as many times. We rebounded the ball better in the second half. |
