bring capable coach effort full games given needs shows sustaining
Tonight, we really showed what we're capable of. It shows that we haven't given our full effort all year. Some games we bring it and some we don't. Sustaining that effort is big for this team. Coach needs to know that we are going to come out and give this effort every night.

It's been frustrating. We've lost so many close games we should have won, games that we had control of and let slip away. So we have 14 games to kind of redeem ourselves and get into the playoffs.

area check houses letting people talked
I've talked to a lot of people down there who said the area is real bad. It's going to take a while for people to get back on their feet. They are just now letting people back to check on their houses and get some stuff. But right now, it's not livable.
It would be an honor, not only for me but also for the organization and a lot of people.

There's some nervousness because not everybody is accounted for, ... We haven't been able to get in touch with everyone. The phone lines are busy, so it's hard to make contact. The only way to do it is through (telephone) text messages, really. We can only hope and pray that everybody is all right.
