boards controlled defense good kept playing struggled
We struggled on offense, but we kept playing defense and kept getting stops. I thought we controlled the boards and our defense was good tonight.
ahead beat experience fans farther gone good hope proud realize stuff team tonight wish year
We can't complain. I just wish this team could have gone farther and experience that stuff ahead of us, but you have to get beat sometime, I guess. Our fans were great. They showed up tonight and that was good to see. I just hope they realize what kind of year we had. This was a really good year and I'm proud of them.
bad ball beat defensive excellent felt good job learn loss mistakes numerous offensive poor team turned
We got beat by poor shooting. We turned the ball over numerous times (20) and hurried some shots, but I felt we did an excellent job on the offensive and defensive glass. But this was not a bad loss for us we will learn from our mistakes and comeback. We got beat by a good team tonight.
next practice regional
We'll get after it in practice next week. It's regional time. We'll see what happens.
battling fourth guts guys lately sickness three
We were sleepwalking through three quarters. We've been battling some sickness here lately but we're not going to use that as an excuse. The guys showed guts in the fourth quarter.
extremely half hard harder next picked played pleased second short
I wasn't very pleased with our play tonight. (The Trojans) played extremely hard in the first half but we picked it up in the second half. If we don't come to play a lot harder in the next two weeks, it will be a short two weeks.
bench bring grab nice people playing
You know, he's been playing like that for us all year. People say 'Why doesn't he start?' It's so nice to grab him off the bench and bring him on the floor. He does things for us and he's comfortable with that role.
goals kids undefeated
The kids had goals and that was one of the goals. We wanted to be undefeated at home.
best contribute definitely happy key team tough
The key to our team is getting everyone to contribute like they did tonight. It definitely showed. We didn't play our best but it was enough and Herrin, for having a 2-22 record, is a tough team. We're happy to get this win.
bench felt kids last run seven
I just felt like we have in the last seven games, now eight, that our bench had a lot to do with (our winning). We can run kids in and out out there.
good graham hold
The big thing will be rebounding. We've keyed on that every game. We have to rebound. And we can't let Graham go off and have a big game. He's going to score, he's too good to hold down, but we just can't let him go crazy.
shoot
That's not like Brandon, he usually doesn't shoot like that. But sometimes you have those games.
heard smack
Oh, that was big. I heard the smack from where I was. That was big for him and it was big for our team.
basics basketball fight hard teams until
They're like us in that they're not real big overall, but they play hard like we do. They just try to play the basics of basketball and that's what we do. We'll have two teams that fight until the end.
