east ourselves prove team teams
It is different with it being a rivalry. We feel we have the better team. We have something not only to prove to ourselves but to the other teams that we're the better team in East Texas.
blown nobody since
Since I've been here, there's always a comeback. Nobody has ever just blown each other out to where the other couldn't get back into it.
ahead bennett decisions great guard himself lose needed point took
Our point guard Czyz Bennett just took it up on himself and made great decisions. We needed that. As long as we win, somebody's going to lose and we'll get ahead of somebody.
felt few foul handle trouble
They were in foul trouble and had to make a few substitutions. I felt their backups couldn't handle the pressure. That's when it went into our favor.
close year
I feel like we've been so close every year. I feel that this is our year to do it.
finished five game impossible played points run second starters tournament win zero
We scored zero points off the bench. It's impossible to win a game like that when all five of your starters have all your points. If we played like we played in this tournament the whole year, we would've finished first or second and wouldn't have had to run into (HBU) this early.
pressure turn
We've got to go in there and turn that pressure up from the start.
