came coach finished kids needed respect
You've got to respect Nauvoo. They came out and didn't back down. Coach Pinkston had them ready. But our kids came out and really finished what they needed to finish.
best deal effort foot guards hard kid matt mike seven team total
Defensively, I thought that was our best effort all year. When you deal with a kid like Mike Tisdale who's seven foot and can do a lot of different things, you need a total team effort. I thought our guards really got after it and we made it hard to get it into Mike. And when we did that, Matt (Buren) was there to at least contain.
game kids score
They don't want to score a lot of points. They want the game in the 40s. I told our kids that if we score 50, we should win.
couple far guard guy kids offense pressure push run top
They guard well and they've got a couple of big kids that we need to take out. They run a high-low offense to where we'll really have to pressure that top guy and push them out as far as we can push them.
came conference expected far fifth nowhere picked seniors sort step
We've sort of came from nowhere this year. We were picked fifth in our conference (Olympic) and no one expected a lot out of us. We've had our seniors really step up and as far as the 14 individuals on our team, they've all contributed in some way.
cycle increase major supplies uniform
Part of the major increase is in supplies because of the uniform cycle that we're in.
battles couple glad joy nice
He battles and he does a lot of nice things. He's a joy to coach. I'm glad I have him for a couple of more years.
formed million object planet seeing star took within youngest
The object is only a million years old. If the planet formed within the million years that it took between star formation and when we're seeing it now, that probably makes it the youngest planet we have ever seen.
almost ball felt looked maybe normally pressure recognize running situation threw trying
It's a situation where they felt the pressure on them and they did some things that they don't normally do. We threw the ball away and we were just running around trying to recognize what (the Vikings) were in (defensively). It almost looked like they were very unprepared. Maybe we were a little bit.
continue dwelling finish happy hopefully
This has been something that's been I've been dwelling on for a year. Did I think we'd be 28-1 here? No. I thought we could've been 17-12 here. We're happy for where we're at, and hopefully we can continue to finish the job.
bad believe confidence great panic process sports starts
This is a great game, but if you play with a lot of confidence, it's there. We've had bad starts and we've had bad runs, but you don't see panic in one of these kids' eyes. They believe it, they know it, they know they're going to win. That's the thought process that they have.
gotten kept kids
I thought we really kept our composure. That's kind of what we've done all year. When we have gotten down, our kids have kind of kept at and kept at.
continue good
I thought all in all, we did a pretty good job. We just have to continue to do what we do and play the way we play. ... If we do that, then we'll be successful.
good mirror
We do mirror each other a lot. I don't think there's going to be a lot of mistakes. We're just going to have to come out and play good basketball.
