eight final proud team win
That this team was one win away from the final eight is just unbelievable. I'm as proud of this team as any I've ever coached.
couple credit defense factor fall fatigue game heritage huge late shots until
I don't know if fatigue was a factor or not. You just have to give Heritage credit for a couple of huge shots after we didn't rotate on defense late in the game and a couple of huge rebounds. We gutted it out until the end but couldn't get shots to fall late.
advantages created defensive good group job low situation tried
At the end of the game, they did a good job going down low and created some advantages inside. We got in a situation where we tried to sub offensively and defensively and we couldn't get a stoppage of play to get a defensive group in.

He's a warrior. He battled all night inside.
across broken caught clean coming good lane screen
He was coming across the lane and he had a good screen set on him. It was a clean play. It just caught him wrong. At first, I thought he had broken his collarbone.
change court great kids love moves nice solid team
He's a solid player. He's a great kid. I love his court demeanor. He doesn't change expressions. He moves without the ball. When you get nice kids who are all about team basketball, it's nice to see.
