backs basketball careless district final follow game good hope job kids learn level next nice playing points score step surviving target team time winning
We got a little careless there at the end. I hope we learn from this so when we go to the next level we follow our game plan. I thought our kids did a nice job of making adjustments and rebounding. That's a good team we played. We're playing some pretty good basketball right now. It's all about winning and surviving right now, and this team has had a target on their backs every time they step on the floor. When you score 101 points in a district final -- that's pretty good.
everybody fortunate kids monday practice soon talking thursday town until win
Everybody in town is talking about it, No. 1 and No. 2. But I told the kids at practice on Monday we're not talking about it, and we're not going to talk about it until Thursday at 9 p.m. If we're fortunate enough to win this game, then we can talk about it as soon as they want.

A few fouls, a few injuries, we played a lot of kids. We played 14 kids and 12 of them scored.

If you go by rankings, I guess we're the underdog but our guys are playing with a lot of confidence. We respect all of our opponents, but we don't fear anybody. Our kids aren't going to be intimidated.
came confidence good guys half kids quarter talked third whatever
For whatever the reason, the third quarter has been our quarter this year. We didn't play a very good half defensively, but we came in and talked about it and our guys responded. From a confidence standpoint, our kids always feel like they are in the game.
bucket guys left proud
I thought our guys left it out on the floor. I'm very proud of the way they played. A bucket here or a bucket there and we're still playing.
added athlete believe choose fortunate good jimmy per played point robert score scoring successful
Jimmy is more of a scoring point guard. For us to be successful this season, he had to score a lot. He also added 4.5 assists per game. He is a very good athlete and could have played any sport, but we were fortunate enough to have him choose basketball. I believe he will be successful at Robert Morris.
bike practicing shooting
We've had him on a stationary bike and he's been shooting around, but he hasn't been practicing with us.
basketball crowd good great high school
That was good stuff. It was a great crowd and that's what high school basketball is all about.

That will give us another tough presence. We're a little deeper with him.

When you look at Mansfield Senior, they're deeper than we are. The difference is we are a little bigger. They sub speed for speed.

We don't have guys go to college to play ball. We have good athletes who buy into what we're doing and play hard. You have a couple good players and a bunch of guys that accept their roles, you can have a pretty good team every year.
