All things being equal, I'm glad we won by two points in overtime rather than 32. I'm disturbed we lost a 16-point lead. |
Cherry continues to the dominant species in bedroom and dining room groups and North America is the only place where it is grown. Chinese cherry is not a true cherry. It's not a scientific cousin. If the piece says Chinese cherry, it is not the same species. |
Eric willed this team. He carried us on his back. I love his team spirit. |
Every year I come to the state tournament and dream about what it would be like to be down there on the floor as a coach. There are a bunch of great coaches who have never coached a game on that floor. I think all the coaches are just glad they brought us along for the ride. These are great players making this happen. |
He's a freshman, but not in awe of the game. He has a lot of composure for a young kid. |
His ability to hit big shots is unparalleled. He's just so steady. |
His teammates know this start was not a gift to Rex. He's a good defender and has pretty good court awareness. He played in a Final 8 football game and now he's playing top-level basketball. |
I don't know that history will play into it. They probably know all that stuff. We do feel like we've had a lot of success against them. At first I didn't like having to play them in the semifinal, now I think I'd rather play them right away. |
I love this. I'll never get tired of cutting down nets. This is a testament of what we worked for this season. I'm proud of my guys. |
I think sometimes basketball teams north of the Trinity River are sold short. It speaks well of both teams. It speaks well of northern suburban basketball. |
I thought we may have had a little bit of an athleticism advantage -- Joe and John are pretty athletic. |
I wouldn't read anything into that game. There's no way you can draw anything from it. It was a long time ago and a lot of players weren't in that game. |
I'd be really surprised if they came out wide-eyed. The floor is still the same length. It is still a gym with two baskets and the ball is still the same shape. I'd be shocked if it affected our guys. |
It was very much like old Plano basketball. I felt it was one of our best defensive efforts all year. |
Jimmy was a blossoming superstar at Plano East. Jessica had to live up to him. Then Joe comes along and has to live up to both of them. |
