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.
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 playing quite time
We rotate quite a bit and got a lot of playing time for everyone tonight.

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).

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.
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.
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.

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.
