It hurt us because we didn't know about it until right before game time. We had to adjust our whole game plan. We had a game plan to go to Troy inside.

They ran up and down, and we needed to rest.

They put a lot of pressure on us and we didn't respond to it.

That's not how we want to play. We almost gave it away. That's not what we'll be playing the rest of the season.
extra kids needed players sons special
You never know what another person is going through. All of my players are like sons to me. Tracey just needed a little extra attention. Kids like Tracey make it special for me.

There's a lot of confusion about insurance, period. This is just going to add to it.
anytime caused defensive game intensity level minutes score shots team
I thought their defensive intensity in the first 11 or 12 minutes caused us a lot of problems. We didn't make shots and pretty much got away from our game plan. Anytime you play a team at this level and only score 13 points, you're not going to give yourself much of a chance.
job kid kids philosophy puts winning
Kids who come here, I see them grow. My philosophy is not winning and losing. When I see a kid like Tracey, it puts this job in perspective.
alcohol played
He was young at the time, and drugs and alcohol played a part in that offense.

He didn't give a definitive answer and so I think that disappointed a lot of people.

He just didn't do the things we wanted him to do within the confines of our system. When you don't play within the system, you're going to struggle.

He feels a great deal of remorse and sorrow for what he did.
addressing areas conference exploit god grace last near nowhere played starting teams undefeated vulnerable weakness
We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.
reward touch
My reward is that I can touch their life.
