I couldn't be anymore happier. This counts as a thousand wins. |
It's going to be a challenge on the boards. We're going to have to fight hard for rebounds. We just need to play like we've been playing, because we've planned all year to be playing our best basketball in the playoffs. |
Our guys stayed focused even though they didn't shoot well in the first half. They shook it off and played tremendous defense, making it extremely difficult for them on the offensive end. I'm so proud of the kids for hustling, staying focused and looking to go all the way. |
They could have chosen six or seven players for MVP. Everyone contributed. |
We are happy with that. We want to be undefeated in district and the state playoffs. That's what we truly want. |
We can't afford to get rattled and let their quickness affect us. They like to slap at the ball and use their hands a lot on defense, so we've got to take care of and put an emphasis on having ownership of the basketball. |
We feel if we have 10 turnovers or less, we'll have a chance to win the game. We had a pretty good first half but were sluggish in the second, and that's to be expected with such a big lead. |
We had a lot of scoring opportunities that we didn't take advantage of. We should have put them away in the third quarter. |
We kept our momentum going and worked on our shooting. We are still working to achieve one of our goals which is to go 10-0 in district. We are trying to avoid the flu and injuries. We are telling our kids to eat good healthy meals, get a good amount of sleep, relax and have fun. |
We used a 1-3-1 defense all season and have been successful. We wanted to keep them away and force shots. |
We want to turn things up a notch, and our depth made a difference tonight. We hope we're at full speed on Tuesday both offensively and defensively. |
We won with hustle, defense and determination. Burkeville is quick and made us look bad at times. We're thrilled to be where we are at this point after beating such an athletic team. |
We're all thrilled to be here, and the boys are committed to playing as hard as they can and doing their best. We talked about how the team that controls its emotions the best will win, and we're not satisfied with just being here. We had a great practice yesterday, and the kids are fired up and have that look in their eyes and an attitude that makes them feel they're going to be successful. |
