along challenge enjoy forward good looking played tall teams
It's a tall task, but it's a challenge we're looking forward to. We've played some pretty good teams along the way so we'll just go up there, do what we can do and then enjoy it.
best far great hit percent shot
It was by far the best we've shot from out there. We hit over 50 percent of our 3-pointers, and that's just a great percentage.
believe bench came defended extremely fresh guys helped knew leading man ran seventh sixth stay tonight year
We knew they weren't extremely deep, and we have been all year long. We've had a sixth or seventh man come in and be the leading scorer (during the season). Our guys off the bench tonight came in and defended well and ran the floor, and I believe that really helped us to stay fresh at the end.
four gave played points rest three
We didn't play very well defensively in the first quarter. We gave up 18 points in the first three or four minutes, but we played better the rest on the game.
changes christmas far half kelly says
We didn't play very well at the Christmas tournament. And we had to make some changes at half because we were down 15. To come back from that far down at Kelly says a lot about our character.
chance couple districts game last playoff quick talent watch won year
They've got a lot of talent on the floor. I've had a chance to watch them a couple of times this year. They're quick (and) very athletic. Of course, they won districts last year and won the sectional game also last year. They've got some playoff experience.
ball bit control good obviously pick slow strong team tempo won
They're a big, strong team. They're a good team all around. Any team that obviously has won state, they don't have a lot of weaknesses. They do like to slow the ball down (and) control the tempo. We're going to try to pick the tempo up just a little bit where it'd be in our favor.
ball district glad missed normally shoot shots tough
They're a tough team. They didn't shoot the ball well tonight. They missed some shots that they normally hit. I'm glad to come away with a win. Like I said, it will be big for district seeds.
bit block coming good half james job low ready second senior trying
James did a little bit better job in the second half of going down to the low block and trying to play down there. Jeremy's senior leadership, he did a good job in the second half of coming out a little bit more ready to play.
again bench bit chance gives great job maybe quicker step throughout tonight
Our bench did a great job again tonight as they have all year. It (gave) us a chance to be a little bit fresher, I believe, there at the end. We rotate a lot throughout the game. Like I said, it gives us a chance to maybe be a step quicker at the end.
aspects defense forcing found game geared good improved job knew open season shot stop
I always knew he could score, but he improved other aspects of game as the season went along. And he really improved his passing. He would see a defense geared to stop him, and he did a good job of not forcing the shot and found open guys.
confidence couple good great guys hit job outside shots
He had a great game. He hit a couple of shots outside that got his confidence going, and our guys did a good job recognizing when he was hot.
bit game last looks open
He got up and down the floor. He got some open looks in transition. He really excels in the game in transition. He didn't play very well the last game and he wanted to play a little bit better tonight.
against ball bit dexter easy friday game good moved played shoot starting
He got out in transition, got some easy buckets. He moved well on offense. He played a good game against Dexter Friday night, so he's starting to shoot the ball a little bit better for us.
