ball basketball effort fun game good great hope map played proud sure tremendous
I am so proud of the kids. They played with tremendous effort everyday. I hope we put Neoga on the basketball map and I think you will see good things from Neoga in the future. This was a great ball game and I am sure it was fun to watch.
against chance game good half knew next played saint seemed special stretch team year
That was the first game that we really played well through a big stretch of the game and Zach had a lot to do with it and it was against a pretty good team. The Saint Joseph-Ogden game was the same thing. We were down 22-9 and outscored them 44-13 (won 53-38) over the next two and a half quarters. For us to play that way was really something special to see. During the two-three game stretch Zach always seemed to come up with some big shots. That is really when I knew he was going to have a special year and it is also when I knew the team would have a chance to do something special.
floor games good job people practice spots tries whether
He is a floor general. He tries to get people in the right spots whether it is practice or in games and he does a good job of that.
four games past
We are getting better. We have got a lot better over the past four games (43-of-62, 69 percent).
ball both few games guard guy guys handled helped kid played post posted run screens slower smaller teams whether
We had a lot of games where they had a 5-10, 5-11 or 6-0 kid guarding him because he handled the ball so much and then we could post him up because he could post up. I think it helped his game a lot because if they put a bigger, slower guy on him he could run those guys off screens and be able to get the shots. If they put a smaller guy on him he could post up. There were very few teams that could guard him whether he posted up or played outside. He was able to do both of those really well.
accomplish basketball game good handle kid knows position shoot
If you have good basketball sense you can accomplish a lot more than someone who doesn't. Zach knows how to play the game the right way. He can shoot the ball and handle the ball and he is a good-sized kid for the position he plays.
amazed game keeping stay talked
That is one of the things we talked about was keeping them off the boards. I'm amazed we were able to stay in the game when you look at the rebounding totals.
account business goal money
Every person in business ? that's their goal ? to get the money into their account quicker.
inside outside shooting talked
We talked about going inside more at the half. They made some adjustments to keep us from shooting from the outside as much.
ask ball happening heard running time yelling
One time he was running out and I heard him yelling at me, and it was happening too fast, ... He said, 'I was going to ask you how to put the ball on the tee.' Not real good.
run spike thinking
I was at the other end, thinking they were going to spike it. I had to run over there.
great hoping kept kids night picked shooting slump telling
We had been in a shooting slump from mid-January to mid-February. We kept telling the kids to be patient. We kept hoping for a night like this and we picked a great night to do it.
doubt great kick plan
The plan is not to use Nick, ... He's a punter, and I don't want to do that to him. ... Nick's a great guy, but I doubt he could kick well enough to use him as a kicker for a game.
battle fight good mentally reason stay
Physically, yeah, but mentally the reason I'm good is you fight the battle to stay good.
