(Coston) did a tremendous job tonight. |
Brett is just a guy that gives you everything he has. He throws his body around for loose balls. He hustles all the time. He does what ever we need to win. |
For three quarters we did a lot of great things. Sometimes you win the game early. I think that's what we did. |
I feel pretty good. Any time you win a game shooting 39 percent you should feel pretty good, but they played their hearts out tonight. |
It really boiled down to us turning the ball over in some clutch situations. We had a six point lead, with the ball, with just over a minute to play. We just didn't cap it off like we needed to. |
It was a great complete game for him. |
It's really been a process with Kyle. Each year he's matured and taken another step. This was the first year he really had that solid impact at the state tournament. He was a leader on this team this year. |
Neither team was really controlling the tempo. I think I was getting sleepy on the sideline watching a lot of this game. Our guys were just really tentative. |
No matter what happens a great team is going to win the state title. |
Our defense played well. It was difficult for us offensively, but we were able to do some things on defense to make up for that. |
Our kids needed to win on the first day. It's been three years since we were able to win that first game. I think this is just our maturity showing up. We have a lot of seniors here playing in their final games and that showed. |
Our kids remained very disciplined. |
Our whole focus is just winning that first game. We've struggled in the first game lately. We need that first one to stay in the winner's bracket. |
That was like a carbon copy of the last time we saw them. It was just too much like how it went over at our place to not have a little feeling of déjà vu. |
The idea is to the build up to a point where you're peaking at the right time. You never really play a perfect game, but I'd say 90 percent of what we did tonight we did as well as we could. |
