Clairton did a great job in overtime. We could have won it in regulation, but we missed a lot of shots inside and a lot of free throws. |
Contrary to what people think, we really don't want to run up and down with them. We'd like a slower pace. We'll run in spurts. |
He's like a shutdown corner. We put him on the other team's best player, leave them alone and totally don't have to worry about that guy hurting us. |
I don't believe everyone can live up to being No. 1. It's tough. You're supposed to be the best team in your classification. All the pressure is on you. |
I don't know what is going to play out and what exactly is going to happen this season. But I do know for sure that we're going to play hard and I'll take my chances with these guys getting to the WPIAL championship. |
I don't know, it's the first time something like this ever happened. I didn't know what else to do. |
I got it, looked at it and put in my file. |
I know our guys don't have a clue of all that WPIAL history. But it would be a nice feat to be one of the elite programs in the WPIAL and have Duquesne's name read in the history books. |
I thought if we could hold (Jackson) down, which I thought we did, and if we could get up and make our free throws, we would have them right where we wanted. |
I thought we were ready to play. We had a bad night shooting from the free-throw line when we needed one the most. |
It was such short notice. They were all an hour away and by the time they got here it was too late. They are here, but just didn't get here quick enough. It was a decision that (Greensburg C.C.) made and there's nothing we could do. They were en route. |
It's another setback for Duquesne athletics. |
Kenny's 3 was big. The first team that scores in overtime wins about 80 percent of the time. That shot really put us behind the eight ball. |
The kids are so frustrated by all the talk. It's affecting the morale of the whole school, even our athletics. Every time you turn around, there's something being written or on television about the school closing. I know for Elijah, it's draining on him. |
To have 36 points against one of the best front courts in the area and one of the best players in the country. He was the best player on the court that night. |
