bandwagon best cannot carries coached consistent game group guys intensity jump level remember
As long as I've coached I cannot remember a group of guys who've had a more consistent intensity level from game to game. Where's that come from? It comes from (Deane). His intensity level carries over to the people, and they just jump on the bandwagon and go. I think that's the best thing he does for us.
hard high inside key level player school seen
I've never coached, and I've never seen at the high school level an inside player play as hard as he does, and that's been the key for us all year.
coached harder high persevere school seen state team
There's nothing harder and more unpredictable than high school state tournaments. I don't know if I've ever seen a team persevere better. I know I've never coached one, but I don't know if I've ever seen one.
depth player smart
I think he will offensively. He fits. He's a smart player but we won't have as much depth as we did this year.
daniel factor seniors stood
Daniel was a big factor in the game, but I thought (those) two seniors stood out.
hard heart intensity jumps plays
Daniel's intensity and how hard he plays is the heart of our team. Because of his intensity, everyone else jumps on his back, and they go.
heck knew respect talented teams tough
It was a heck of a game. We have all the respect in the world (for the Grizzlies). Logan is one of the more talented teams in the state. We knew that we had a very, very tough game.

Eight out of the 10 times we've gone, we've finished in the top five. It's become the No. 1 accomplishment of our program.

It was getting to the point that I hated to see him come to practice.
bought crazy giving principal
It's been crazy around here. The principal bought 800 championship T-shirts and they're giving them out to everybody.
heart played proud
They played so well defensively. I was so proud of them because that's always been the heart of our program.
good playing
They're playing real well right now, as good as anybody.

Defensively, he got himself in trouble by not being fundamental.
greatest intensity kid plays
(Deane) plays with the greatest intensity of any big kid I've ever been around.
