games helps joe kids open played player rust
I think the rust is off, we've played enough games now that the kids know where each other are going to be on the court. Having an All-Ohio player like Joe Kalb also helps to open things up a lot.
needed second settle stops together took
We just needed to settle down in the second half. We put some stops together and then took some things away from them.
belts definitely eight entire games playing season team
We're definitely a different team than we were six, eight or even 10 games ago. We're playing with more confidence. Our sophomores have an entire season under their belts now. They're not sophomores anymore.
deeper
We're deeper now. We're able to do some different things.
dream kids ran state trip
You always want that dream trip to the state tournament. The kids were hungry. The kids weren't satisfied. We just ran out of gas, we ran out of time.
basket began finally game good looks ourselves position shots win
We finally began to get some good looks at the basket and made some shots to put ourselves in a position to win the game in the fourth.
ball crucial expect period turn
We had a lot of crucial turnovers in overtime. You can't turn the ball over on the first two possessions of a four-minute period and expect to win.
kids lay teams tribute typical
That's a tribute to (Carey coach) C.J. (Kin). His kids aren't going to back down from anybody. That's typical of teams that get to this spot. They're not going to lay down and die.
ability biggest improvement jump overall shots
I think his biggest improvement overall has been the ability to take jump shots off the dribble. He did that tonight. Also defensively he's become more of a communicator and not just a shot blocker.
foul line situation
I thought if we were in a situation where we had to put them at the foul line we would be in trouble.
best defensive half held points score second
I think this was our best defensive half of the season. We let them score handily in the first half. But we held them to 18 points in the second half. That's pretty good.
excel great player wants
He's a great student. He's a player who wants to excel and wants to win.
break capability fast good led points scoring shooting tonight
We have the capability of scoring a lot of points and tonight we did that. Tonight was just our night and Riverdale didn't have a good shooting night and that led to a lot of fast break opportunities for us.
athletic coach extra free game good happened kin last players playing shots team throws
Carey is a very athletic team with some good players that have been playing long enough to know what coach Kin wants. (The last time) we happened to make some extra shots and free throws down the stretch. They're playing well right now and we have to play well to be in the game with them.
