job
They did a better job than us down the stretch.
higher last level pick played team
We really haven't played well in the last week. We need to pick it up to a higher level (this weekend). But this team is that way and I think they'll do that.
built case defense early east fall hard hole lead offensive played
When we fall into an early hole the way we did tonight, we sometimes come back and play really hard defensively. That wasn't really the case tonight. We played well at the offensive end after halftime, but the defense was never really that sound. That early lead Oswego East built just was more than we could overcome.
games strike throw walk wild win
When you walk 10 guys, you're not going to win too many games. (Brock) was just wild and didn't throw any strikes. He just couldn't find the strike zone.
against ball guys inside loosen work
With us going 6-0, 6-0 against their inside guys at 6-6 and 6-5, we couldn't work the ball inside to loosen things up outside.
ball game great handled physical played pressure turned
We played a great first quarter. We handled their pressure pretty well and got the ball to Alex. Then it turned into a physical game and we can't play that physical a style.
coming future girls learning looking nice noise players rebuilding returning strong
They've been coming out of the woodwork, which is nice for the future. The girls have the athleticism to make a little noise at the end of the year. It's still a rebuilding and learning year, and while I'm looking for the returning players to improve, Celebration's going to be real strong again.
attacked bus driver head moving passenger possibly speeds throat
The bus was moving at freeway speeds when one passenger -- possibly two -- attacked the driver with a knife. He was attacked in the head and throat area.
county maybe
This is the end of a chapter, and maybe Grayson County can go back to being normal.
closeness driving due inclined
After driving the area, and due to the closeness of structures, I'm inclined not to go with the land-use plan.
adjusted calling game officials pace saw
Once we adjusted to the pace of the game and saw how the officials were calling the game, we were fine. We need to adjust quicker. We showed pride, though. We battled all the way to the end.
arms best challenge city draft eight guys lake picks throw
Lake City probably has the best arms in the state. They've got the most draft picks and the most prospects; they've got eight guys who can throw up into the 90s, so it's going to be a real challenge for us.
good job proud shows win
I thought we pitched well. Offensively, we didn't do as good a job as we needed, but we were proud to come back and get a win like that after Saturday. That shows a lot of character.
decent forcing knock looks
I thought that in the first half, we were getting decent looks at the basket. It wasn't like we were forcing shots. We just couldn't knock them down.
