against good kids silly speed strength
Sometimes when you play against kids that are that good of athletes, you make silly things happen. ... Just the speed and strength (of Macomb) made us do things that we didn't want to do.
against five game guys learn team tough
It's tough against a team like Nokomis, because they have five guys out there who can score. Hopefully, we'll learn from this. At least it wasn't an elimination game tonight.

Betz is our sixth man but he probably plays only 10 minutes a game. He's never been in that position before. Those are the kind of things you got to have to make a post-season run; somebody unknown stepping up like that.

We're just not good enough to get him the ball all the time. And once we started playing from behind, we didn't have much of a chance. At least it wasn't an elimination game.

I thought we were jittery a little bit early.

Our goal was just to get to our sectional and see what we could do after that.
