It's wide-open this year. You never know what can happen come district time, especially this year. |
Our bench really came through in this game. Robert Todd (Spalding) scored eight points in the first half and Joey (Reed) knocked down those back-to-back threes in the second half. That was the difference in this ball game. |
Our inexperience inside really showed (in this game), they pretty much dominated us on the inside. Down the stretch we played just good enough defense to win the ball game. |
They came out and scored every time down the court. They are a good team, one of the best in the sixth region and after the first quarter we played pretty well. |
They have a lot of size and athletic ability. They forced us into a half-court game and we just don't play well in that type of situation. |
They played very well. They have a lot of experience on the floor with the majority of their top seven or eight players being seniors. |
They were a tough team for us to match-up against. We believed and we still believe that we are the better basketball team. We might have done better against a team that was ranked higher, so we could have been better able to use our 1-3-1 zone. |
They were challenged on that at the quarter break to grab every rebound. And I meant it. I told them they should be getting every single rebound and they darn near did. |
They're great associates. I'm glad they decided to come work for us. We have a few positions to fill yet, maybe five. |
We came out fired up. This was a big game for us and it was one that we should have and did win. |
We didn't shoot the ball particularly well but we played hard. We have to play hard in order to win. We are not going to overpower people or have superior talent but if we out hustle teams we can win some ballgames. |
We had our chances late in this game, but we wasted a couple of possessions with a lack of execution. We got a great shot at the end of the game. It just didn't work out for us. |
We jumped out early and then maintained our advantage throughout. We played well, not great but well enough to get the victory. |
We were in a position to win the game even after halftime. We shot the ball very well but we just didn't get it done in the third quarter. |
When you are small like we are at every position, you have to create tempo. We pushed the ball and tried to make it a full court game and did a pretty decent job of it. Unfortunately for us we couldn't take home the win. |
