ability agile best create handle himself kid kids seen shoot size
He's probably the best 6-9 kid I've seen around here ever. I've never seen one with the size and ability he has to play the game. You don't find that too often. How many 6-9 kids can handle the ball, shoot it, are very agile and can create for himself and his teammates?
judge quaker team valley
Don't judge us on the first game, and don't judge us tonight. We'll be a different team when we get to February. And Quaker Valley will be there with us.
defense good last minute played smaller wins
We went smaller at the end. For years, we've said that defense wins championships, and we played pretty good defense in the last minute and a half.
hear judge
You hear so much about it. I wanted to judge it for myself.

When you look up the word team in the dictionary his picture is there.
great hard overcome respond rough team teams took
Every team is going to have some rough patches. Great teams overcome the rough patches. I thought it took us too long to respond tonight, but we play hard and we're going to get better.
beginning brought confidence guard point swagger
At the beginning of the year, we didn't have a lot of confidence at point guard. You need a point guard with some swagger and he's brought that confidence to us.
afraid eight guy points
That's huge. Here's a guy who's 6-10, and not only can he score, but he's not afraid to give up the ball. He had around eight or 10 assists; that's another 20 points he contributed to.
defense great job second
The defense did a great job in the second half. We wanted to make some things happen, and we usually do that with our defense.
everybody guys halftime needed
I told the guys at halftime that's why everybody practices. We just needed to be patient, get into our offense, and not let them get a run.
bit gave knew team
We knew they were solid. That team can play, and we knew that. We had a little bit of an off night, but they gave us all we wanted.
bigger caught couple decided game guy kept late match picks small switch ups
We were bigger and we got caught up in a couple of picks and screens. I decided to go small late in the game with the match ups and switch picks. I kept one big guy in.
game
We're going to keep pushing. We want to go up the turnpike (to the PIAA championship game in Hershey), but its not going to be easy.
aggressive hard plays smart
He's very aggressive -- smart and plays hard all the time.
