ball cut guys point
We made a point to get the ball into Will and the guys could cut off him. When we did that we had a lot of success.
advance against good job points rebounds scoring
We've got to come out here and play our butts off (against Puxico). We can't give up rebounds like we did tonight. We can't give up as many points as we did tonight. I thought Advance did a good job of scoring a lot of points. They got a lot of rebounds against us. We're going to have to play our A game.
bending bit defense feet guess happen help moving needed points quite reaching second seemed time
That second half, we seemed a little sloppy. Our help defense wasn't quite what it needed to be. We were reaching a little bit more than we needed, not moving our feet (or) bending our knees. But, when you've got 60 points in the first half, I guess that can happen from time to time in the second half.
night stay took tried
We tried to stay with him all night. I thought every 3-pointer they took was contested.
couple missed turned
We turned it over a couple times when we shouldn't have, and we missed some shots.
far flow half strength
We didn't have the flow we wanted the first half as far as getting up the floor, that's a strength of our team. But we still persevered.
couple days knew last nervous
I've been a nervous wreck, to be honest, these last couple of days up here. But I knew once the tip-off came, I'd be fine.
advantage bodies bunch coach crashed deeper felt fewer great guys played pressure size uses
We're deeper than I showed tonight. I just felt with their size advantage and the pressure they were putting, I had to have fewer guys in the game. They're deep. They can come at you with a bunch of big bodies and coach Scott uses them well. They crashed the boards, got up and down and they played a great game.
barely game good guess last played
We played pretty well in spurts. It was a game of spurts, and I guess our last spurt was just barely good enough to win.
capable game gear great hope lose team tonight tough
That's a tough one. You lose a tough game like we do tonight and you got to gear back up and play a great team like Charleston. I hope we're capable of that.
defensive floor gets great job leading looks rebounds tonight tough transition
Will did a great job tonight of really leading our break. He got a lot of defensive rebounds and just started going down the floor. ... Just great looks down the floor and if Will gets us out and going in transition like that, we're tough to beat.
ball came couple good knocked looks shot
We came out and shot the ball like we can. We've done it a couple of times this year, but I thought we had a lot of good looks and we knocked a lot of them down tonight.
came state win
We came here for one reason. To win a state championship.
came gave heck lucky played
It was one heck of a game. Puxico came out and played their butts off. They gave us everything they had and we were lucky enough to come out on top.
