It says a lot about the level of basketball being played in the area. Mansfield Senior is in the top 10 in the state in wins. There is some very good basketball played in this part of the state.
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.
few kids played
A few fouls, a few injuries, we played a lot of kids. We played 14 kids and 12 of them scored.
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.
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.

We were playing for No. 30 tonight. That was our motivation. He's a three-year starter and he's been denied half his senior year.

Everybody in town is talking about it, No. 1 and No. 2. But I told the kids at practice on Monday we're not talking about it, and we're not going to talk about it until Thursday at 9 p.m. If we're fortunate enough to win this game, then we can talk about it as soon as they want.

We've had him on a stationary bike and he's been shooting around, but he hasn't been practicing with us.

I coached Scott's brother in college. He's done a great job up there in his first year.
backs basketball careless district final follow game good hope job kids learn level next nice playing points score step surviving target team time winning
We got a little careless there at the end. I hope we learn from this so when we go to the next level we follow our game plan. I thought our kids did a nice job of making adjustments and rebounding. That's a good team we played. We're playing some pretty good basketball right now. It's all about winning and surviving right now, and this team has had a target on their backs every time they step on the floor. When you score 101 points in a district final -- that's pretty good.
arises backside ball catch foul guard guys knock learn needed proud reed screen seconds shoot situation step stepped trying wild
We had a foul to give and we were trying to knock the ball away and get under two seconds to make them take a wild shot. I thought if the lob to Reed wasn't there, their guard would step out on a backside screen and catch it and shoot it. Hopefully, we can learn from that when the situation arises again. But guys stepped it up when we needed to, and I'm very proud of them.
deeper difference speed
When you look at Mansfield Senior, they're deeper than we are. The difference is we are a little bigger. They sub speed for speed.
