David Johnson is a four-year varsity starter. He's a (NCAA) Division 1 athlete. I think he's the best player in our league since Andrew Mitchell. |
During our timeout with :06 left, Travis told me he wanted the ball. It wasn't said with arrogance. It was just an inner-confidence. |
I always believed we would have a good team, but that's all it was, a belief. Tonight is proof that we can be a good team. This is more like what I expected. We have a team that can play fast, and we have a lot of players who can contribute. |
I was proud of our kids. It was a much different feeling this game than the last time we lost to Foley. We had a lot of opportunities going to the basket, but the shots were just not going in. |
In all respects, it was our finest game of the season. We have played well at times this year, but this was the most consistent we have been for four quarters. |
Our overtime loss at Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard last Friday was devastating. It was a game that we believed we should have won. I was interested to see how the team would react tonight. The players came out really focused. They played with intensity. |
We did a nice job closing the game out. We were making some good decisions in the middle (of the court). |
We didn't make shots. I give Ann Arbor credit. It's about making plays and making free throws down the stretch. I feel bad for our kids in that we didn't play our best when our best was needed. |
We got some steals and some baskets in transition. |
