came defense early game good normally played quarter rhythm shots sync third tough
When you play a competitive game like this, it's going to be a game of runs. We had one early and they came back. We just got out of sync and rhythm offensively. In the third quarter we had some shots we normally make. They didn't go down. They played very good defense and made it tough on us to score.
caught kids points quarter third
We had a little letdown in the third quarter but we were able to regroup. The kids caught on that we make more points by making more passes.
against aspect defended game highly plays shot single three time
Every single game has been competitive. It's not like, even in a single aspect of the game, we haven't competed. We've rebounded well and defended well. We haven't necessarily shot well against these guys, but at the same time they've been three highly competitive games. They've made plays to come out on top.

Riggs got us off to a great start. The first half we were really clicking on all cylinders. The kids did an excellent job of making the extra pass and finding the open man. It was pretty basketball.

We are really close to being an excellent basketball team. I think if you're both teams you want to play your best before the postseason. And Mattoon has typically had hard-nosed, fundamentally sound basketball teams.

He's shown in a lot of areas how he's matured. You see him in the halls, you watch his focus in the classroom. He's coming off his best semester ever academically. He gets it now. It's one of those intangible rewards you get as a teacher or coach when you see a young man and the light bulb turns on.

I have the second-nut flush draw and top pair, ... At that point I move all in for the remaining $50,000 or so. He called.
best broke came charge events guys led ready sat summer wrist
In the summer he broke his wrist and couldn't play with us. He still came to events, sat on the bench, cheered on his teammates. I think that said a lot about him. We came in and had the best preseason we've ever had because guys were really committed. He's one of the guys who led the charge into us getting ready for the season.
beat catch chances king nine pair remaining turn twice
Even if he has a pair of aces there, I still have nine outs twice (two chances to catch one of the nine remaining hearts) to beat him. The king on the turn kills me.

The big difference in overtime was we scored first and controlled the boards. Throughout the second half we did a good job defensively allowing one shot. We were active on the glass on the offensive end and that allowed us additional possessions.
bounce extra gave guard lift second spot
Cory was outstanding in the second half. He gave us a big lift at the guard spot and Lonnie had an extra bounce in his step.
