I told the guys that I was proud of them. As short-handed as we are right now, I don't know if I can ask any more of them in this situation.
That's the attitude that I'm trying to bring to this team, ... I'm trying to instill it in everybody, even the guys who are veterans on this team. We're coming in to win games, and we're coming in to try to make the playoffs. We shouldn't settle for anything less.
Everybody was getting very excited about our team (Latta High School) in the state championship. But I'd been hearing about her in the state championships. I had to see her. She's so small. She's got a lot of heart. She's not scared of anybody.
It really doesn't matter at this point. I mean, it would've been nice to go down there. But I'm looking at the positives. I'm going to get some rest.
With my dad, he's just working so hard to take care of me and give me all the things I needed or wanted,
That's my man. He always told me: 'You're a winner,' and to always play with confidence when I go out there.
Our chances are great. We are a great team.
J.R.'s got some hops, so it was really fun playing out there with him. He's part of the family, and the whole event signifies our Carolina family.
The lane just opened up. I made a cut and it all fell through. We fought so hard for this game. We were both fighting injuries. We had to get this one. There was no way we were going to fight this hard and not win this game.
I do want to play, I don't want to sit the bench. But if I don't start, Coach did that for a reason. I'm not going to complain about that. I'm going to be ready to play when my time is here.
I'm not backing down from what I said, regardless of who says whatever about it,
I'm not backing down from what I said. I wasn't saying (it) to be bold or to be cocky. I was saying it because I have confidence in my team and my teammates. That's the mentality that I'm trying to bring to this team.
In ninth grade, I figured he maybe could finally beat me, ... In 10th grade, I knew he could beat me. So I stopped playing him then because whenever anyone asked 'Who won the last game?' I always wanted to be able to say 'I did.'
