historic history
It's a historic rivalry. When you look at the history of the league, Willard has 24 (boys basketball) championships and Bellevue has 17 and everyone else is in single-digits.
knew nine thursday
When we were down nine on Thursday night, we knew Brandon would be able to play Saturday, so we said, let's try to (win this) so he can play another game. That was motivational.
basketball district great high northwest people players school
What a great high school basketball game. You've got over 3,000 people here, you have the two Northwest District Players of the Year, what more could you ask for?
accept athletes bunch buy college couple good guys players team
We don't have guys go to college to play ball. We have good athletes who buy into what we're doing and play hard. You have a couple good players and a bunch of guys that accept their roles, you can have a pretty good team every year.
defense focusing great nights played sat shoot week worked
We worked all week focusing on half-court defense and rebounding because you're going to have nights where you don't shoot well. It was a great week of practice. We sat down and played defense.
floor locker room
They're probably on the locker room floor right now because they're spent.
ball guards guys hands hit lead might others points sound though
Once we got the lead we put the ball in the hands of one of the better guards in Ohio. Even though he was double-teamed all night, he got 38 points and got the others involved. It might not sound like it when he has 38 of our 62, but he hit the other guys at the right time.
few kids played
A few fouls, a few injuries, we played a lot of kids. We played 14 kids and 12 of them scored.
bucket guys left proud
I thought our guys left it out on the floor. I'm very proud of the way they played. A bucket here or a bucket there and we're still playing.
added athlete believe choose fortunate good jimmy per played point robert score scoring successful
Jimmy is more of a scoring point guard. For us to be successful this season, he had to score a lot. He also added 4.5 assists per game. He is a very good athlete and could have played any sport, but we were fortunate enough to have him choose basketball. I believe he will be successful at Robert Morris.
kids ready seniors seven
I think these seven seniors are on a mission. I know our kids will be ready to go.
half second
We made some adjustments the second half and went man-to-man and not much zone.
came confidence good guys half kids quarter talked third whatever
For whatever the reason, the third quarter has been our quarter this year. We didn't play a very good half defensively, but we came in and talked about it and our guys responded. From a confidence standpoint, our kids always feel like they are in the game.
great jon played points team
I know Jon had 38 points and they had 73 points, but I thought we played great defense. It was a great team effort.
