exposed good played weaknesses
We've played up and down so far. When you play good competition, you get some of your weaknesses exposed and we have been exposed at times.
adversity consider definitely effort four frustrated hard kids played proud season wins
I am definitely proud of the effort these kids are giving. They played hard for four quarters. The effort has been there all season and when you consider how very frustrated they have been through the adversity in wins and losses, you have to be impressed. I can't say enough about their effort.
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.
breaks early hole ourselves played
I don't think we played that badly. It was just one of those days. We didn't get any breaks and (Gulf Coast) didn't make any big mistakes. We just got ourselves in too big of a hole early to come back from.
body definitely finally gives kids played presence respond six weeks
He's been out six weeks and finally played on Tuesday. His presence makes it a lot different for other teams. He's a big body and he gives us leadership. Our kids definitely respond to him being there.
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.
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.
against beat conference couple four game great guts hang hard heart impressive played quarter second seniors shown step team tribute won year
It was a six-point game in the second quarter and they had that run. If we hang in there, get a couple of stops, you never know. It's a real tribute to our guys, though. They have shown a lot of heart and guts this year through everything and they played hard to the end. Unfortunately it's a loss, but it was a great way for our seniors to finish. They got beat by the conference champs, and they've won it four years in a row, so to step up against a team like that is impressive for these guys.
begun break certainly cold cool near normal seem warm
We've certainly begun to break out of our warm streak. It's going to cool off to near normal and will actually seem cold again.
credit early hit hitting home shots
You have to give the credit to McDowell. He hit those 3s early and put us in a hole. They were hitting their shots and we weren't. That's frustrating on your home floor.
creating growth jobs levels population stronger
As the population grows, we're not creating enough jobs as it is to keep up with the levels we have. What we need is stronger growth that is more employment-creative, or employment-intensive.
anybody beat field
We went 3-for-21 from the field in the first half. You aren't going to beat anybody that way.
communication conference freshmen good group hopefully marathon matter takes understand
We've got a good group of sophomores and hopefully they can communicate to the freshmen what it takes to get it done in conference play. We just have to understand that it's a marathon and not a sprint. It' s a matter of who's got the most perseverance.
both care chance win
We've got a chance (to win the league), but we just have to take care of our own business. We want to win both games, but we only need one.
