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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
rebound
Not just a whole lot. We just have to go down and defend, do what we can do and rebound the basketball.
basketball best guys passing team
That's really been one of our strengths, passing the basketball. These guys play so unselfishly. This is the best passing basketball team I've coached.

That's something he's always done well throughout his career is penetrate and be able to score and create off that. He's done a good job of that this year.
bench contribute course eight guys helped hopefully led rest scoring seven throughout
That's one thing that's helped us out throughout the course of the year. We've had seven or eight guys that have led us in scoring this year. (We have) guys that can come in off the bench and contribute a lot of minutes. Hopefully that's one of the things that will help us out the rest of the way.
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.
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.
