great job needed player quarters stepped three
For three quarters we did a great job on him. But he stepped it up when he needed to. He's not a scholarship player for nothing.
sam slack stepped team took trying
He (Healy) really stepped up his game. He took the team on his back, trying to take up the slack with Sam (Barnes) out with a sprained ankle.
bad ball division good hurt job last match problems won
We got off to a bad start. We had some match up problems that really hurt us. I thought we would do a better job getting the ball inside, but we struggled. They are very experienced and won their division last year...they are a very good team.
adversity eight five missed players starting team top
We went through a lot of adversity this year. Every one of the top eight players on our team missed at least one game. We never had the same starting five on the floor...it was very tough.
against ball great job moved throughout
We executed very well offensively against one of the better man-to-man defenses in the state. We moved the ball and did a great job throughout the game, but especially in the first half.
catch contest energy played second shooter spent struggled trying worked
We really struggled in the first half. We didn't make lay-ups and we didn't contest the shooter like we had worked on in practice. We played well in the second half, but we spent too much energy trying to catch up and didn't have enough to win.
eight huge nice playing pressure win wins worry
That was a huge win for us. It is nice to take some of the pressure of getting eight wins off our back. Now we just have to worry about playing well and getting healthy.
gave great job player talented
That was a great way for him to end his career. He was not the most talented player on our team, but he always gave 100-percent when he was on the floor. He did a great job tonight.
couple injuries pick schedule time
We have had so many injuries and our schedule is very tough. Every time we go out on the court, we have to play well. It is not going to be easy, but we need to pick up a couple of more wins.
came coming early fourth good hit lead quarter three took trip
Trip is really coming into his own...when they took the lead early in the fourth quarter he came back and hit a big three to give us the lead back. He had a really good wee.
chance cut fourth nice played quarter quit seniors
We made a nice little run. We had a chance to cut it to nine, but we just couldn't get any closer. I played all my seniors in the fourth quarter and they played hard...they could have quit being down 20 points, but they didn't.
guards needs open understand
(Barnes) needs to understand how to get open and our guards have to get him the ball, too. It was two-fold.
absolutely easy games schedule single teams year
There are absolutely no easy games on our schedule this year. We can't have letdowns. All of the teams that we play this year are very good. We have to come to play every single night.
break catch healthy hopefully hurt possible round seem state time turn
We can't seem to catch a break this season. Every time we turn around, someone else is getting hurt. Hopefully we can get as healthy as possible in time for the first round of the state tournament.
