guts heart team
This team has as much heart as any team I've coached. I think this is a team with a lot of heart, guts and courage. When they're down by 27 points, they didn't give up.
couple good guy might next night played score teams
With Largo, one night one guy might score 18 points, and the next night it'll be a couple different guys. They've got to be doing something right to get their ranking. They've played good teams as well.
good last might shooting time unless
We don't want him out there shooting 3-pointers unless it's a desperation last shot. He might make one. He's a good shooter, but that wasn't the time to do so.
hard matter playing proud stop
They never, ever stop playing hard no matter what. I couldn't be more proud of everything they've accomplished.
game hard kept seem start together win worked
They didn't seem to back away from hard work, but they didn't start working that hard together. However, they worked better together as each game progressed. They wanted to win and just kept getting better.
locker room unless until whatever
At halftime, I told them not to come out of the locker room unless they would come fight, scratch, claw, whatever they had to do until the end of the game.
coached fun game great group kids meet nice
This game was a lot of fun. It was nice to meet the kids you coached against. You always were able to see them, but it was fun to meet them and I had a great group of kids.
good people pulling
It makes you feel good that people are pulling for you.
award gave tribute
This award is a tribute to the players. They just never gave up.
became grew speed stronger
As he got older, he became stronger and his speed improved. He also grew defensively.
course might
Of course you always think you can get there, but I didn't really know if this might be a possibility at the beginning. But the kids, they got better every day.
guys
We don't need any heroes. Our guys just need to do what they do.
beat coach excellent good great job played saying scoring team win year
Sickles played really good defense. You're not going to beat a team by only scoring 35 points. They did what they had to do to win and what a great year they've had. I'm not saying we didn't have a great year, but Coach Garcia has done an excellent job with his kids.
deserve doubt guys lose proud proved year
We lost. You lose by 30, you lose by one it hurts. We could have rolled over and it could have been 40, but I've been proud of these guys all year and they proved without a doubt they deserve to be here, I think.
