entering gave good job lead maintain needed second
Sure, we'd like to make them all, or at least make more than we are. Nevertheless, we made some big ones when we needed to. We did a good job defensively and we were able to maintain a lead. When we still had a lead entering the second half, that gave us some confidence.
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.
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.
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.
forms generally information necessary page people submit web
We'll also have it set up with all the necessary forms to submit your film online, and generally have the Web page be a better way for people to get information about the festival.
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.
ahead quickly small spun tornado warning wish
I wish (Thursday) that we had a tornado warning out ahead of this tornado, but we didn't. It was a very small tornado, quickly spun up.
bigger match simply team tough
We just can't match up with a team like that. Oswego is simply bigger and stronger. That is a tough combination to 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.
carried hoping leads win
We have had leads before but they usually got away. We carried it through tonight. Obviously, we're hoping a win like this will give us some momentum.
