error found game margin time tonight
Tonight was the first time we haven't found a way to get it done in a game like this. Our margin for error has been very slim, but we've always found a way to get it done.

attack confident games good great ourselves
We've put ourselves in a great position. We need to be confident about that and feel good about that. Now let's go attack some of these games and get it done.
ball came game hole kids moved proud rip several third throughout
I told the kids that there were several things throughout the game that I was proud of, but they didn't blink. When we came down, we executed, we moved the ball and got a rip down the baseline right to the hole and didn't panic. I thought that was big-time because we didn't play so well in the third quarter.

They're a great defensive team and we struggled in the second quarter. They didn't win 26 games by mistake.

community fun games great school start win year
If you'd told us we'd win 23 games at the start of this year, we'd take that every day. It's been a great year for our community and our school and it's been so much fun to be a part of it.
expect game possession
When you have Southside on your jersey, you expect to win. It's a game that we look at as a one or two possession game.
faster game great high intensity job kids maybe played ready setting tempo
We played the game a little faster than maybe they were ready for. It all started with defense. Our kids did a great job of setting the tempo and setting a high intensity level.
break close critical eyes great lunchtime mind players practice saturday wrong
It's so critical for us to get our mind right before we practice Sunday. Our players are hurting. You can look in their eyes and see that they're hurting, and it should be like that if you really care. But by lunchtime Saturday it's got to be gone. We've got to have a great day of preparation (Sunday) and have the right attitude. We're going to break down everything that went wrong (Friday) and give it to 'em and then close the book.
enjoy good
I'm going to enjoy this one. This is a big win. Fayetteville is a very good team.

Size is not her (only) game. She can run, she can catch and she can score. She just plays of the top of you. It will be a unique challenge for us.
attendance decided entire good great kids led percent senior six summer team tone took weeks
The kids just decided they were going to be a really great team and they were really committed. The six weeks of our summer schedule, we had 100 percent attendance out of our entire senior class. That's just how they went about doing things. They just decided they were going to be good and it took off from there. They set a great tone and led by example.
ball pounding turning
They were pounding us on the glass, and we were turning the ball over like crazy.
