bobby defense early game gave hoops
That's kind of big game for Bobby on offense. He made two big hoops for us early in the game that gave us the lead. From there, his defense did the rest.
defensive wear
It wasn't just Polka, but their defensive strength. They were able to wear us down.
eventually guys hard kept momentum poise three trouble
I thought our guys showed a lot of poise when Watertown made that run. They didn't panic. We could have been in trouble had they scored two or three more unanswered baskets. That was a big part of the game. We kept working hard and eventually got the momentum back in our favor.

John is exactly the kind of athlete every coach wants on his team. He brings knowledge and great work ethic to every game and every practice. He's always been a small kid, but, through hard work, he's improved his body a lot. That's a tribute to his dedication. He's the kind of kid every coach dreams about.
basketball central effort good guys hurt lost played run struggled team time
That's a very, very good basketball team we lost to tonight. We struggled at times, but our guys played hard. It wasn't our effort that hurt us. Central just had too many weapons. Every time we made a run at them, they had an answer.
kids special trade
These two kids right here are pretty special guards. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
basket boost gave great johnny score
It's always big to score a basket like that at the end of a period. Schuster made a great pass, and Johnny scored. It gave us a big boost going into halftime.
basketball bunch game good guys kids nice played proved today unselfish
The nice thing today was we had a lot of kids play well and we played very unselfish basketball. That's how we have to play to be successful. We don't have a bunch of superstars. We've just got a bunch of guys who can be pretty good at this game when they play together. I think we proved that today.
ball extra guys kick kids open second shoot unselfish
It's been the same old story for us all season. When we play as a team, make the extra pass, kick the ball out to the open man, we can be successful. We've got guys who can shoot the ball. The kids were very unselfish in the second half.
stud
Obviously, Polka is just a man-child. He's just a stud in the paint.
accepted added came charlie defensive gives good job kids nice obviously scoring seniors tribute
Obviously Charlie is a very good player, and our seniors have really accepted him. When he came back, he did give us an added scoring punch, but what gives us defensive pressure-wise makes our kids a little more confident. Our kids have accepted him and it's a tribute to our seniors that haven't let his distractions become the team's distractions. They've done a nice job implementing him back in the lineup.
best chances control good improve john key leaders might offense overall plays ran senior took winning
John Hoch really took control for us today. He's one of our senior leaders and he might have had his best overall game. He did a lot of good things. He not only scored but ran our offense and made some key steals. When he plays like that, our chances of winning improve a lot.
chances defensive feed guys leader points
I like our chances when we give up 45 points a game. Bobby's our defensive leader and the other guys feed off of his effort.
believed early fans gave glad group guys kids locker prouder room special state struggling
I just couldn't be prouder of a group of guys than I am of those kids in that locker room right now. They battled all season. We were struggling early in the year, but they never quit. And because of that, we're going to the state tournament. This is something special for all of us. I'm just glad we gave the fans what they wanted. We believed we could do it, and so did our fans. Now we get to play in Madison.
