Todd Tripp quotes about
explain game gave kids playing referee technical terrible
They gave him a technical and I really don't know why, to tell you the truth. I don't think (the referee) could explain it very well either. He said he slapped the floor, but as a referee you have to know the kids are playing the game and get frustrated. (Hood) didn't say anything to the ref. I thought it was a terrible call.
ball battle felt game gave good last team time
We felt like we gave the game to them the last time we played. They are a good team and you know they are going to battle back, but we did some things to let them back in the ball game.
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.

Oh, that was big. I heard the smack from where I was. That was big for him and it was big for our team.

We tried to make them shoot the ball and they shot the ball. I didn't think (Ackley) could shoot like that and he knocked two shots down to get things started.

free game kids last next pleased scoring shooting throw tonight tough tuesday until
This was a tough game to get up for tonight. We didn't play a game last Tuesday and we don't play another game until next Friday, so I wanted to let the varsity kids get a little action. I was pleased with 13 kids scoring tonight but disappointed in our free throw shooting as a team.
