For what they went through, my hat's off to those kids. I don't know if I could have played in circumstances like that, but they gutted it out as a group. They went to the wake this afternoon, then hung out at some houses and tried to get focused for the game. From start to finish, I thought they were into it. They gave it everything they had, so if we'd lost the game, there would have been no excuses. |
Hopefully, it's a sign of a young team growing up. That's the best team we've played all year, and that's the best we've played all year. |
I'd like to think she's up there looking down on these kids because they're her friends. I would say that they played for her tonight. |
I'd say she redeemed herself. |
If the game was in the 50s or 60s, I don't know if we could have beaten them, but we kept it low. The kids played with a lot of heart out there on defense. |
Just because the title says freshmen, they don't play like freshmen. Sophomores don't play like sophomores. I expect them to produce the way I would expect seniors to produce. If I put you on the floor, I have confidence in you and I expect you to get it done. |
Maybe she blocked those foul shots at the end of the (second half). |
They're just feeding off this ride right now. So you've got to just let them go. |
This is what you strive for all year. Winning a regional title is great, yet it's just another step in the process. I guess you can say we've raised the bar. The kids expect a lot of themselves. |
We tell our guys wrestling coaches often die of heart attacks and now you can see why. Marcus Godfrey from Munising is a great wrestler. You can't give him any opportunities. That could have been a big turn in momentum. |
Without her, we wouldn't have won a game this year. We don't get the ball up the floor if she isn't our point guard. |
