almost assistant athletic dry eyes five incredibly minutes watched
I watched five minutes (of videotape), and (my assistant coaches) had to dry my eyes. I was crying. (The Tornadoes) are incredibly athletic and big, and long arms. It's almost scary.

We've won playoff games before, but not down 18 on someone else's home court. Yeah, this is pretty special.

We've talked from the very first day of practice that we had big goals, big dreams, and they've kept hearing it from me. Now there's only two teams left (in Class 4A), and we're one of those two. So we feel very fortunate.

I was praying for him. Trust me, I've seen him shoot free throws.

With all that returning experience, I like our chances. Adam and Tolbert will be four-year starters.

We were just hoping he didn't get 30. Everybody we talked to over here, the feeling was that he was going to his points, but you had to stop everyone else.

Their five starters averaged about 70 points a game. We averaged around 50, so we didn't want to get in a running game with them.

This is huge for us. We came over (to Jacksonville) where people don't see us, don't know us, and we had a couple kids with the flu bug, but we still found a way to win.
I told (my players), if we could keep (score) in the 50s, we'd win.

I wouldn't trade what we've done for anything. I think going on the road has made us a better team.

We knew (the Cougars) were deeper than us. We knew they were more athletic than us. But we had a game plan coming in, and for all but six minutes, we were able to stick to it.
