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.
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.
ball captain great inside job knees last leading open role taken team
He's (Limbaugh) done a great job for us. His knees are bad, he's really hurting, and he was one of our leading scorers from last year. But he has taken on the role of team captain and has done a great job with it. He really distributes the ball well inside to open people. He's a great passer.
alex bad ball came couple games good hot job looks needed realizing row shooting talked team tonight took
Alex has had a couple of bad games in a row shooting the ball, and we talked about it, and he came out and took a lot of good looks tonight and made them. The team did a good job of realizing who was hot and getting the ball to him when we needed to.
speak
It was a little out of the ordinary. Usually they have a translator, or they speak English.
ahead district game love prepared seniors south three title tough win
These seniors have been in three district finals. We're as prepared as we can be (for the title game). I'd love nothing more than to win a district title, but we've got a tough game ahead of us (against South Iron).
bit defense defensive finally intensity kept picked playing quarter run second talking trying
Our defensive intensity finally picked up a little bit. We've been talking about trying to play better defense and playing with a little bit more energy. We started a little run there at the end of the second quarter and kind of kept it going from there.
feels guys high junior since
It feels good. I've been with these guys since junior high all the way up.
break enjoy feels four game good kids prepared talked year
It feels great. We've been here four years in a row, and its something we've talked about all year. One game doesn't make or break a season, but it feels good to get over the top. We've prepared for it all year and the kids should enjoy it tonight.
character playing road test win
We can come out and win third. Right now you may not think of it as much, but down the road you'll see it as a positive. It will be a test of character playing that game.
believe challenge extremely pass possession seen tempo
Typically, they pass about 20 times each possession when they get it on offense. So they're extremely deliberate. That's something that we haven't seen a lot of down in this area, so it'll be something new to us. I believe the challenge is getting the tempo up to where we want it to be.
bench contribute good helped
I'd contribute that to our bench. Our bench did a good job, as it had all season. That helped us be fresher at the end.
performance shooting worst
Obviously, that's the very worst performance we've had shooting all year.
