basketball boys eight eliminated elite games girls good pinnacle saturday state sweet team
They dismantled the Sweet 16 and they have eliminated the Elite Eight. That was what every team wanted to do was get to the Elite Eight and play downstate. That was the pinnacle for boys and girls basketball in the state of Illinois. The only good thing I like is that you don't play two games on Saturday anymore.

We knew that this was much more than just a hit-and-run accident.

We went from first to fourth place in the matter of about a minute on Senior Night (against Leo) and that's a tough thing to happen. The two teams that played for the championship, we beat both of them. It was just a couple of plays during the span of the year that made the difference.

When I talked to Nick, he was floored. So was I. It's obvious these young men have been listening to the important lessons - and they taught us the lesson today.
effort guys heroic particular peter pitching themselves
I thought we got a heroic effort out of Peter and Newman, in particular -- they just willed themselves to the victory. And the other guys were pitching in and doing what they could do to get this done.

conversation good guy impression looking seen shoulder sit
He wasn't the bumptious guy we had seen on the telly. You couldn't sit down and have a right good conversation with him because he was reserved, you know? He was great, but I got the impression that he was looking over his shoulder all the time.
