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).
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.
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.
bit playing quite time
We rotate quite a bit and got a lot of playing time for everyone tonight.
bit defend past work
We can't look past them. They've been a little bit up and down this year. We've got to come out and defend and work on that on first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
