home looking seed seen teams
We've seen all the teams once. We have some of the better teams at home this time. We're looking at that No. 2 seed in the regional.
game holding looking smart start teams
We're looking to play our game and go right at them. If we can get better play out of our back court, especially on defense, and play smart basketball, we could start holding teams in the 40s and 50s.
carry couple defending happy hosting playoff ready spot target
We're happy with the No. 2 spot and the possibility of hosting a couple of playoff games. We're the defending champs and will have a target on our backs. We need to be ready to carry that.
brought energy great job
We brought them up to give us energy on the floor. I thought they did a great job in their first varsity game.
defense help interior last matter needs personnel
We're still making adjustments in personnel to get to where we want to be. But we need to play better defense, no matter who we've got out there. Our interior defense needs to improve. Our help defense needs to get after it, if we're going to get back to where we were last year.
forward looking opportunity trip
We're looking forward to having the opportunity to play for another trip to the sectionals.
bonded enjoy last lose time together
We've bonded together as a team. They enjoy being around each other. This time always hurts. You lose that last game. For seniors, especially at this stage, it hurts.
athletic
They're solid. They've got thick, physical, athletic kids.
balance expect nice three underneath
They're our big three and that's what we need and expect from them. We had some nice balance underneath and we're going to need more of that as we go.
ball forgot guys left played playing shot
I thought we played terrible. The way we've been playing so well, we shot the ball terribly. And then we forgot to play defense. We left our guys too much, we got lazy, we gambled, we weren't disciplined enough on defense.
against ball bit coach eight excellent fairly fame floor good hall match pick played possession race sound style turn turned work
I think we match up fairly well against them. They play a style that like we play. They don't race up and down the floor and run-and-gun. They work the possession and take good shots. They have an excellent coach who is Hall of Fame material. They're fundamentally sound and don't turn the ball over. They turned it over only eight times against Grantsburg. We have to play every bit as good as we played Saturday, and we may have to pick that up a notch.
ahead conference fallen frustrated happened happy sure
Thankfully, we were ahead the whole game, I'm not sure what would have happened had we fallen behind. Give them credit. They frustrated us offensively. We're just happy to get another big conference win.
believe confident guys man playing sights
I'm confident we can play with them the way we're playing our man defense. These guys have got their sights set on getting to that Kohl Center. They really believe it.
brought cherish community conference group program proud seniors special trips
I can't be more proud of the kids. They represented their community and their conference very well. This is a special group of seniors that brought this program to a new level. They'll cherish these two trips to sectionals for a long time.
