either losses next practice ready reflect start wins
Really you don't want to reflect too much on either the wins or the losses after they happen. At the next practice you have to start getting ready for the next opponent.
chance credit hard played win
Give a lot of credit to Springdale. They played hard and did what they had to do to try and have a chance to win it.

We play such great defense, our kids take pride in it. Defense is what wins for us.
biggest kids state step taking talk took win
I'm kind of in shock; I don't know what to say. By far, the biggest win of the year. To talk about taking the big step to Little Rock, we took a big step tonight. These kids want to go to that state tournament.
competitor seems takes underneath wants whatever win
At first he seems like one of those laid-back, type-B personalities but that's just a disguise. Underneath he's a competitor that wants to win and do whatever it takes to win.
win
They (Van Buren) are in kind of in a do-or-die situation. They probably feel like they need to win out to get to the playoffs.
against fourth kept kindest magic nine number places road state team tournament trying win
This hasn't been one of the kindest places for us but I thought we kept our composure. I think it was important for us to come in here and get a road win against a team that's trying to get the fourth seed. I think the magic number to get to the state tournament is nine and that is one of our goals.
chances good leap looking reach steps taking
We were taking steps before but this is a leap right now. We're looking pretty good (to reach the playoffs). I like my chances right now.
erratic five free goes great guys hard hit kids length line shape six step throws tired
We've got to be in great shape to be able to play five and six guys for that length of time. Our kids are in great shape. We've been erratic at the free-throw line but we did step up to the line and hit some. The first thing to go if you're tired is going to be your legs. If those goes then those free throws are going to be pretty hard to make.
kids miraculous
There have been some miraculous comebacks. The kids have done everything right.

We?re showing signs of playing our best basketball as we?re approaching March. That?s where you want to be at.
basket convert fair game looks rush
We got some fair looks right around the basket and couldn't convert them. (Jonesboro) completely made us get out of our game and rush things around.
confidence start team themselves trying
We are trying to start a new tradition. (Rogers) has a lot of confidence about themselves or else the team would have folded.
