players talented
They're smart. When you have players who are talented and smart, it makes a big difference. That's why they're undefeated.
against good granite maybe page saw starting
We saw some good things (Friday) against Granite and I saw kind of a carryover tonight, which was good to see. Maybe we're starting to get on the same page and really jelling at the right time.
beat biggest care happens keys smart
There's no way we're going to be able to beat them if that happens again. We've got to play smart and take care of the ball. The biggest keys will be rebounding and turnovers.
against east five four last saturday surprise win
It didn't surprise me. Four and five are pretty close. That Althoff win against East last Saturday (was key).
alex bucket good needed senior stepped touches trying
We needed to get a bucket there. We were trying to get Alex some touches and Darius stepped up. It was good to see Darius, as a senior should, go out and make a play for us.
free shooting whistle
That was huge. When the whistle blew, I thought we were at least going to be shooting a free throw.
advantage friday good playing shoot unless win
We like the idea we're playing at home. That was something we wanted to shoot for. Now we have to take advantage of it. We have a good opportunity. But you don't get to Friday unless you win (Tuesday).
good kids player
Stewart is a good player and he makes the other kids around him so much better.
alex caught obviously took
The turnovers caught up to us, and obviously we have to have Alex on the floor. It took away a lot from our offense.
drive hours lincoln three
We're happy. It's better than being 2-2 and having to drive three hours like Lincoln has to.
coming generate meeting seed
With the (sectional) seed meeting coming up, we need to generate wins.
great guard knew ok quickness scary speed
They're very capable. They're kind of unconscious at times. They're scary because we knew we couldn't guard them man-to-man. We've got OK quickness, but they've got great quickness with the speed they can put on the floor.
cinderella east living
They're on a roll. Cinderella is living in East St. Louis.
focused game kids officials points quarter second stayed third took
The officials took us out of the game in the second quarter. I got (the technical) and they had 12 to 14 points from the free-throw line. But the kids stayed focused and got after them in the third quarter and re-established control.
