came focused good intensity ready
We came out with good intensity tonight. We were focused and ready to go.
capable defend definitely ready size step stop
We will have a size advantage. I'll tell you one thing, we had better be ready to stop Serena and step out to defend the three-point shot. We will definitely need to defend because Serena has many capable long-range shooters.
christmas days eight games nine played ready seven thrown
We've played seven games in eight or nine days with Christmas thrown in there. We are ready for a break.
focus games guys playing until
We didn't know that until one of you guys told us. Our focus has been on first getting here, then on getting this one so that we're playing two games on Saturday. If (being undefeated) happens, that's great, but we hadn't thought about it.
thanks until
We didn't know it until (a reporter) told us. Thanks for the pressure.
last strong stronger though year
Even though we were strong depth-wise last year, we're even stronger this year at all positions.
court doubt last since vision walked year
There's no doubt that since we walked off the court last year we've had the vision of getting back here.
court dedicated doubt dream hard last since time vision walked worked year
There's no doubt that since we walked off the court here last year that we've had the vision of being back here. It's been a dream of ours, we've worked very hard and been very dedicated to that dream for a long time now, and now the dream has come true.
continue guys home last march since starting vision walked year
Well, I think these guys know it's been a vision since we walked out of Peoria last year. That vision started last year the day after we got home -- of starting to try that march again. This has been a 300-and-something-day march. And we want to continue on.
basketball dominated dreamed final kids state talked
I would never have dreamed that we would have dominated the schedule. I don't think any of us talked about going undefeated. We talked about getting back to state. No. 1 for all the kids is to get back to state and back in the final four.
basketball blended coming easy everybody excited great guys job nervous nice passes played player robert smith solid starting tyler
I think everybody was excited and a little nervous with Robert out. But Tyler Smith did a great job coming in. What I like is that Tyler is a different kind of player than Robert, but he played solid basketball and set up some guys for easy baskets and made some really nice passes early. He just blended in like he'd been starting forever. It was nice to see a different lineup come out there and succeed.
best challenge easily offensive players teams top undefeated
Winnebago is one of the top teams in the state. They could easily be undefeated and they have one of the best offensive players in the state. It will be a big challenge for us.
against both level played rhythm sync
We played better against Hinckley, but we're still not at the level where we need to be. We're still not as in sync both offensively and defensively, but we're getting better. We have to find that rhythm soon.
came everybody good looks lots played tough
We came out with lots of energy. Everybody played well and it was tough for Reed-Custer to get good looks at the basket.
