achievement along great proud
I wanted to do something, along with some other guys, because it is the 20th anniversary. It is a great accomplishment and we were proud to be a part of it.
kids losses screaming wins
Wins and losses are not that important. For 14- to 15-year-olds, it's not if you win or lose, it's what you learn. Screaming at little kids doesn't make sense to me.

We have had more time in the new system and it is starting to come together. Really, more practice time is the biggest reason we are playing better.
defense gone good gotten season
We weren't very good early, but we have gotten a lot better as the season has gone along. We are still tweaking some areas, help-side defense for one. We are getting there.

They are very fundamentally sound, they take care of the basketball. They don't have one guy who they rely on. They have good wing players, and the point guard is as steady as they come.

They played hard and sometimes they make some bad decisions. But we kept taking it to them.

He can turn it on at times. He's a tough guy to guard. He can shoot outside, and he can take it inside. He can jump. He is just a nice all-around player. Tonight, he had it going.
ahead goal kids prepared seem
The kids seem to be very focused. They have one goal and they have had it for a long time. They know what is ahead of us this weekend. They have to be prepared to go.
expect feels guys hard needed played quarter relief starting third
After the third quarter I was starting to wonder. It feels good, a relief to get that first one out of the way. I know the guys expect to win; I expect to win. They played hard and did what they needed to do to get the 'W'.
came chance conference fired guys happened knew motivated slip tie
The guys came out fired up. They knew Rossville had a chance to tie us for the conference if we let it slip away. They were a little embarrassed about what happened (Thursday) night. That got them motivated to come out and not let it happen again.
gets hard plays rebounds
He always plays steady, never gets too emotional. He rebounds hard and does everything right.
