bunch courage fact game guys hard last lessen lose played proud season win won year
Its hard to lose any game and especially one that's so close. The fact that we didn't come away with the win doesn't lessen what these guys did last season at all. They've been a classy, hard-working bunch all year long. They played with a lot of courage and a lot of determination. I couldn't be any more proud of them. I wouldn't feel any better about them even if we'd won that game.

We got out of rhythm in the second quarter. We had a pretty good lead and then all of sudden, it got away from us. They ended up leading by 6, and it was a 12- or 13-point swing. Heading into that second quarter, I thought we were on the verge of taking control.

We executed much better in the third quarter and got Lewis isolated. We made some adjustments offensively and got Lewis some quick buckets. But I never felt real comfortable because Bentonville took us out of some things. But our kids were persistent enough to get what we wanted.

You look at the other team and try to figure out who's capable of beating you. Obviously, we're not going to shut anyone down, but we tried to slow those guys down.
basket drove free good job jump second
We didn't do a good job on him the whole game. In the first half, he drove to the basket and made free throws. In the second half, he made jump shots. You just have to give him a lot of credit.

West Memphis is always among the top three or four teams in the state every year. It seems like they never have to rebuild.

We started to run and jump at them. We did it from different places, so they couldn't tell where the jump man was coming from.
