clutch game great played plays score tough
It's a tough place to play. I thought Tanner Gregory played a great game tonight. I can't say enough about the kid. Not only did he score but he made, I don't know how many, clutch plays for us.
attacked gave good high hit jump key post quarter second shot six took
They attacked the high post and hit a good little jump shot on us. When we took that away they didn't have another answer. The second quarter was key because we gave them six points.
five help hit indication mark needed quarter stepped walker
Tanner scored five points, but that was no indication of what he did on the floor. He did everything we needed him to do to help us win. I thought Mark Walker stepped up and hit those two big threes in the first quarter to get us going.
attacked choose covered forward gap kicked ran time
We ran the same play (end of regulation), but this time they covered the A gap, so Koop attacked the B gap with the dribble. Now their back forward has to choose. Is he going to take Koop or is he going to take Walker? He choose Koop and kicked it to Walker.
controlled deserved forcing
We'll take the win, but I think Orem deserved it as much or more than we did. They controlled much of the game, forcing us to play in their backyard, so to speak.
chance good might second
We still had a good chance there at the end to win, and if we would have had one more second we might have won.
proud unit
They outplayed us tonight. I'm proud of my unit and what they did, but we just didn't have it in the right places.
attacking couple desperate executing felt grown needed past places proud today unit
They outplayed us today boys. I'm proud of my unit and I'll take them. We just didn't have it today in the right places and they did. We weren't executing a couple things that I felt like we needed to execute. We weren't attacking as well as I wanted to attack. We done that in the past and we've kind of grown into it. We just couldn't get the attack and then we got desperate in our attack.
ball best except floor free missed people player plays
Koop, I felt, was the best player on the floor except for the missed free throw. He got the ball to people and he made some plays himself.
knew region teams thinks win
Going in, I knew we had to win this game. Now I can look at it a little more politically. But everyone in this region thinks they can win on the road. The teams are too good.
came care halftime
He came to me at halftime and told me that he'd take care of it.
biggest full great hands hope point spread
Highland's a great team. They're 23-1 and they have the biggest point spread in 4A. We're going to have our hands full, but I hope they're going to have their hands full too.
credit deserve good playing state
Highland is a good team. Credit them for playing well. They deserve to be the state champions.
enjoy few mark success
I really haven't digested this yet. I've been here a few times and it's fun. I'm going to enjoy being in the championship game. It's a mark of success for our team.
