knew matured poised team whatever
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win.
defensive good heart minutes offensive plays ran rest six south team tonight
We ran the same offensive and defensive plays in the first six minutes as the rest of the game. We just started to play South Lenoir basketball. Tonight was just a good team effort. We showed a lot of heart tonight.
beat flying last mention position says talked teams tv
We're in a position where we're flying under the radar. We're not being talked about on TV shows. When they mention teams in the playoffs, it's like the Jaguars are the last one. That's fine. I like it that way. When we beat New England, that says it all.
basketball good mental mistakes run team
We had our chances. We just would get a run and then make mental mistakes. But (Clinton's) a well-coached basketball team with some good players.
blame chances played responsibility team
We had our chances but we didn't play smart. And I can't blame them for that; that's my responsibility when they don't play smart. We didn't look like a well-coached team out there at times but we played hard.
good passion tried year
When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it.
guy pounding side touching
Very tough, especially when you look on the opponent's side and you don't see Peyton (Manning) touching the ground. How much pounding can a guy take?
games later problem win
We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable.
handled himself passes people remember tend time
When someone passes away like that, you tend to remember that person like a saint. He wasn't a saint. But he handled himself all the time like people around him were important to him all the time.
basketball early game guys half heart possessed second soul stepped
Brandon's the heart and soul of our basketball team. He was possessed early in the game but the guys stepped up well in the second half in his absence.
boost catalyst fred gain offense
We all know Fred is the catalyst of this offense and to see him get that gain up the middle, it's a big boost for the whole team.
pay
There is nothing Kirby would not do for you. You were never able to pay him back.
exactly guys time
I don't have to say anything. You guys know. Now is the time to make plays. That's exactly what I do. That's why I'm here.

My first recording, a guy came down to Philadelphia and heard me play and he introduced me to Alfred Lion.
