both coached effort exciting hearts played rivalry suppose teams total
Both teams played their hearts out. That's the way a rivalry is suppose to be played. It was a total team effort and one of the most exciting I've ever coached in.
came effort game good nice slow team tied
It was just a slow, slow paced game. We were down 20-14 there and came back and tied it up at the end of the half. It was a good team effort and a nice win.
again game looking press throw
We just never recovered. They make you play that game because they come out and full-court press you the whole time. That's what I'm looking for again Saturday. We know they're going to throw that at us.
defense helped imagine league size stop thrown
Our size has helped us a lot. Our league has thrown every defense you can imagine to try and stop our height.
course guys helps outlet
We scored a lot in transition. Of course it helps when you have guys 6-7, 6-8 making the outlet pass. We had some big baskets out of transition.
good tough
From what I'm hearing, they have some good shooters which could be a tough task.
coming guys playing trade yell
I wouldn't trade any one of those guys for anything. They play with a lot of heart. I yell at them and they still keep coming back and playing hard. It's been a lot of fun.
ball beat floyd guard inside last point
We need to make them beat us with the long ball. We can't let (Bishop Guilfoyle point guard Sean) McConnell penetrate as much as he did in the last game. He was able to get inside and get the ball to (Kevin) Floyd and Meyers.
district next ready round shot
This was the one I wanted. I want the district championship but I wanted to get to the round where you know you have a shot to get to the next round. They're excited. After the game, they were asking, 'When's the next game?' They're ready to play.
both hustled luckily matter played run stretch teams
It's a win. But, as expected, both teams played hard, both teams hustled and luckily we had that run at the end that was the difference. It was a matter of we got more down the stretch than they did.
district hang happy nice title
We're happy that we're going on to the (state playoffs) but there hasn't been a district title ever so we'd like to hang that in the gymnasium. That'd be nice to look at.
control couple definitely player players successful
We definitely have to control O'Connor and we've been successful at controlling just one player but they have a couple other players who can shoot.
chance crowd front game hate knew momentum swings tie
Right there, you could feel the momentum -- you hate to say a tie game swings the momentum -- but you could feel the crowd was back into it. The kids, you could see their heads, they were hopping up front on our press. Right then I knew we had a chance to win.
five nice offensive played three
He had three dunks and five blocks. He played a nice offensive game.
