early eight fairly good happened large league looked looking margin nine people phenomenal rest start teams terrific top unfair west won year
Top to bottom, it's been terrific all year long. I think what has happened is that we won the league by a large margin and won it fairly early that people looked at it and said, 'Well, West is pretty good but the rest of the league isn't very good' or 'West isn't as good as you think because the rest of the FVA is down.' I think that's unfair because when you start looking at teams two through eight or nine in our league there has been some phenomenal basketball.
basketball encourage game help lose speculate team win
You can never speculate on what will help or hurt. At this stage, you just want to try and win a basketball game. I would never encourage a team to lose a basketball game and we're just too dang competitive. I don't want to lose.
aggressive cushion fun gave pressure relax took
We wanted to come out, be aggressive and have fun and I think that we did that. That (early lead) gave us the cushion to relax and it took the pressure off us from the get-go.
andy fare individual measure speaks successes teams volumes
We don't look at individual accolades. We measure our successes in how our teams fare and I think that speaks volumes about Andy Polka.

We knew we had to mix up some defenses. I thought we were very effective for the most part in the 2-3 (zone), and it made a big difference for us going away.

It's the story of this season. We've had guys that have stepped up from a lot of different spots and Brady is a guy that is a very talented basketball player and he's getting his opportunity to show everybody else what we already knew about him.

It's not a concern. We've had great balance all year. The rest of our guys have stepped up on different nights. We have great toughness and a lot of heart, as you've seen the last two nights.
decision
It was a decision that was made at my dad's funeral, basically.
basketball bit came complete heck offensive player shoulders tim took
Tim took us on our shoulders and really came out hot. He?s a heck of an offensive player. He does a bit of everything on the offensive end. I don?t know if there is more of a complete basketball player in the state.
bulk check college decisions july missed national recruiting scouts time
They missed the bulk of the recruiting period. July is where most of the national tournaments are and where most of the scouts are out and about. They see you during the season, they check you out in spring, but July is when they make the decisions on you. July is decision-making time for college coaches.
andy ball couple fast great half hands job keeping shoot trying
They play a 1-3-1 and do a couple of different things out of it. What they are trying to do was they were trying to get us to shoot a little fast and away from the basket. In the first half they were doing a great job of keeping the ball out of Andy and Tim's hands and away from the basket.

They get over it after a while. They are probably so sick of hearing our voices, I'm sure they'd enjoy some down time.

That's how (Kyle) uses his head. He bounces stuff off of it.
