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.
guys half played running second slow state track
In the first half, we were running around like it was the state track meet. I told our guys to just slow down. We did in the second half and played more under control.
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.
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.

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.

We just broke down. We wanted the ball inside and it didn't get there.

I'm standing here with a group of young men who have grown tremendously in the past couple of months.

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.
beaver care concerned
We weren't concerned with Beaver Falls. They were in the other bracket. We wanted to take care of our business.
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.
games hit saying shoot shot
We've shot like this before. Actually, we've had games where we shot better from the outside. I'm not saying we shoot like that every game, but we can hit them if we get them.
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.
