beat games hard proudest shoot stayed staying team
That's the thing I'm proudest of with this team, even when we didn't play well in games or didn't shoot particularly well, we stayed in games by working hard and staying after it. We beat a very good, well-coached team tonight.
good last might shooting time unless
We don't want him out there shooting 3-pointers unless it's a desperation last shot. He might make one. He's a good shooter, but that wasn't the time to do so.
good halfway junior player saw shoot
He has always been a good shooter. After he got about halfway through his junior varsity year, we saw he could be a good player because he could shoot the ball.
basketball decent hope
I think we're a decent basketball team. I hope we can get better.
kept lay playing run shots ups
(Jefferson) made that run at us and we just wanted to make some shots. We got some shots and some lay ups and just kept playing our defense.
deserved hard kids played team today
Our kids showed heart, but Eastside played very hard and physically. They were the better team today and deserved to win.
guys half hard kids love practice single worked
Our kids worked hard for everything they got this year. I would love to get the first half back in the finals, but that is the sport. Every day, every single day, these guys showed up for practice and worked hard to succeed.
deserve doubt guys lose proud proved year
We lost. You lose by 30, you lose by one it hurts. We could have rolled over and it could have been 40, but I've been proud of these guys all year and they proved without a doubt they deserve to be here, I think.
guys
We don't need any heroes. Our guys just need to do what they do.
bucket couple early might needed shots
We needed to make a couple more shots early on. A bucket here or there, who knows, it might have been different.
ad call change found game move moving
When I found out they were moving the game, I told my AD to call the FHSAA and tell them don't move it, don't change the game because of us.
frustrated keys shift
If I told you what I said, you would have to use a lot of those shift keys on the keyboard. It was my fault. I got frustrated and said things I shouldn't.
shots
Those shots were big. That got us going.
guts heart team
This team has as much heart as any team I've coached. I think this is a team with a lot of heart, guts and courage. When they're down by 27 points, they didn't give up.
