benny defense excellent executing felt good great halftime hitting job kids ours playing second three
We felt real good where we were at halftime being up by three with Benny hitting that shot. The second half has been ours all year. The kids have done an excellent job of executing and playing great defense in the second half.
behalf coaches community hit starting support until wow
No, I don't think it's hit until I got into this gym. But now it's starting to hit pretty hard. On behalf of the players, coaches and managers, um, wow ? the support from this community is unbelievable.
four good hits knew knock locked thrilled
We knew we had to get him involved. They had him locked down pretty good in the first half, and they had to be thrilled that he only had four points. But once he hits one of those (3-pointers), he can get going and knock down a lot more.
catch guys pressure tried
We tried to put pressure on their shooters so they couldn't make that (entry) pass. We had the other guys sagging off and making them back up to catch it.
bigger floor spread time
They are a little different from Carlyle. They are a little bigger and they spread the floor more with their big guys. We'll make some adjustments, but at this time of year, you just do what you do.
came early game happy played tough
The thing I'm happy about is that he bounced back from that early game. It was a tough game for him, and he came back and played very, very well.
ask asked good improve quicker release running until worked
That's the thing with Robert, if you ask him to do something, he does it until he's good at it. We asked him to get quicker and he worked all summer. We asked him to quicken his release and he worked all summer. We're running out of things for him to improve on.
anybody believe conference feels hard moving proud road
It feels real good, to own it all by yourself. Before the season, if anybody said someone's going 9-0 in the conference it would be hard to believe that. So I'm real proud of our kids, and now we've just got to keep moving on. There are better things down the road after this.
create finish good needed offense played
We needed to create more offense through our defense. I thought we played good defense, we just didn't finish when we needed to.
basketball inside knew pressure stop
We knew we had to put a lot of pressure on the basketball to stop their inside game.
basketball best bought buy good knew playing team trusted
We knew we could be good as long as we could get them to buy into team first and things like that, and they've done that. They bought that from Day 1 and just kind of trusted each other. We started playing our best basketball at the end.
hard kids miss noticed played rubs says summer team works
It's his leadership. He works so hard that it rubs off on everyone. He played AAU all summer and didn't miss any of our team stuff. That says a lot about him right there. And all of our kids noticed that.
chance kept quarter season team wife
I told my wife about a quarter of the way through the season that I thought this team had a chance to be special. Everyone kept overlooking us and we just kept winning.
against extremely good guards looking seeing seen
They have a lot of guards and good guard play and they're quick. It's pretty much the same thing as us. I've seen them play once against GCMS. I know Steffen is extremely good. Looking at CPCI is like seeing us.
