came liked pursued
They liked him and they really came after him. They really pursued him, really wanted him.
danny guards handle shoot
The thing I really like about Danny is he's very versatile. He can handle it and shoot it. He's not one-dimensional. A lot of guards can do one or the other. He's able to do both. That's what makes him a scholarship player.
exactly extremely night pull scares
It's exactly what we expected. It's extremely tough. It's not so much a one-game thing but the night-in, night-out that scares me. Before, you could have an off night and still pull out a win. Now, with an off night, you're done.
biggest game margin played victory
The game with our biggest margin of victory was the championship game. Once we got back, they played without pressure.
fact inside kindness missing settled sure surprised
I was kind of surprised they settled for those 3-point shots. But I'm sure that had something to do with the fact they were missing some inside players.
felt hard lose slip
It's hard to lose like this because we kind of felt like we let one slip away.
good looked might
He had a good look. From my angle, it looked like it might fall.
advantage bench furthest game gold guys medals
You look at them (Laurel Highlands) and I think this may be the furthest they've gone. I look up and down my bench and see a lot of guys who have had gold medals around their necks. That's a big advantage in a game like this.
best deserve emotion emotions section talented team title tonight
Hopewell didn't play with the same emotion tonight because they had the section title sewn up. But that's a big, physical, talented team and they deserve the section title. They're the best team in our section.
bus driver
I think we had the slowest bus driver in Pennsylvania.
best division glad jumps mark plus shoot sophomore tremendous true
(Brian's) the best sophomore I've ever coached. He's got tremendous skills. He has true mark of a Division I player. He can do things that you can't coach. He jumps out of the gym, he can shoot and handle, plus he's long and athletic. I'm glad I have him for two more years.
ball happy picked pressure quarter second
We weren't happy being up two at halftime. I wasn't happy with our ball pressure in the first quarter and I really wanted them to pressure the ball and, in the second half, they picked it up.
