easy hurt key missed rebounds
What hurt us the most was missed key rebounds and easy baskets.
hurt lose point
It hurt us to lose by one point to Perry. I told the it would come down to that.
atmosphere community expectation run supposed town
The expectation in this community is so high, they'd run me out of town if I didn't make it. The atmosphere around here is that we're supposed to be here.
depth foot good job prepared
We were prepared for what they were going to do. We just didn't get the job done. They had good foot speed, and they had depth on their team.
state won
We've won state championships when we haven't won region. It's not over.
knew
We knew what they were going to do -- it's the same thing they have done to everyone. They didn't do anything that we didn't expect.
expect knowing performance pleased
I'm pleased with our performance. Especially after not knowing what to expect going in.
cautious coming concerns teams
I had some concerns with (being too confident) coming in. Sometimes you have to get teams up to play (in that situation). I was cautious about that.
few
I don't know how that happened. We'll have a few there. We'll be OK.
address distance mean middle next
I'm disappointed in our middle distance (runners), and by that I mean the 200-meter and the 800-meter. But that is something we will address next week.
mine particular ran
Nothing happened, we ran as well as we could have run. There's no one particular thing we could've done better. If it is anybody's fault, it's mine as a coach.
hit puts time
Any time you hit threes, it puts you right back in the game. I told them to try and not give (Perry) any threes.
anytime easy few gave jump lead major
Anytime we jump out to a big lead is a major concern. We won, which is most important in the end. But I thought we had a few unnecessary turnovers which gave them easy baskets.
beat christmas happen last played sure time
The last time they beat us in the Christmas tournament, they said we played tired. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen again.
