atmosphere caught changes chaos chaotic floor good hard job kids lead playing slippery
It never ever changes (at Grant) ? it's a chaotic atmosphere up here. You never feel like a lead is safe, the floor is slippery and it's hard not to get caught up in the chaos. I thought the kids did a good job playing through it.
college knows level player tonight tyler
Everyone knows that Tyler is a college level player offensively. But tonight he showed that he is defensively as well.
depth eight encouraged good happy players seven
I'm encouraged by our depth and happy with our distribution of scoring. Seven players scored eight or more and 12 of the 14 players scored, so that's pretty good balance.

They came out in the second half and one of their kids hit a 3 and you could feel the momentum change.

They were very physical and we didn't respond real well at either end of the floor.

We just got off to a sluggish start.

We felt this was a really important game to get off to a good start. But we'll regroup.

Brian Jackson played some great minutes. He was shooting the ball well, attacking well and distributing the ball well.
ball good high incredible passing school
Twenty-three assists is incredible for a high school team. We were getting such good looks, and that's because we were passing the ball so well.
couple says time
This is the first time all year. We've been at 10 at couple times, but this time we got down to eight, so now he (coach Nelson) says he will take them out to dinner.
box cast coach goes good hit lee mark pull stuck supporting
It just goes to show you how good his (Smith's) supporting cast is. We hit enough three's that I thought it would pull them out of it (the box and one), but Placer coach Mark Lee read us well and stuck to it.
good playoff role team
They're a good team and still playoff material. I think they're going to play the spoiler role at this point.
chance dream future kids people playing taste
It's a coach's dream to get all of the kids that much playing time. It was also a chance for people to get a taste of what the future will look like.
adept attacking ball came huge kennedy middle soft spread struggled surprising zone
We struggled a bit, which was surprising considering how many shooters we have. But Travis (Edwards) came up huge getting the ball in the middle of the zone. Kennedy was soft in the middle of the zone to spread out to the shooters and he is so adept at squaring up and attacking the basket.
