It feels great. We've been here four years in a row, and its something we've talked about all year. One game doesn't make or break a season, but it feels good to get over the top. We've prepared for it all year and the kids should enjoy it tonight.

He got out in transition, got some easy buckets. He moved well on offense. He played a good game against Dexter Friday night, so he's starting to shoot the ball a little bit better for us.

I'd contribute that to our bench. Our bench did a good job, as it had all season. That helped us be fresher at the end.
aspects defense forcing found game geared good improved job knew open season shot stop
I always knew he could score, but he improved other aspects of game as the season went along. And he really improved his passing. He would see a defense geared to stop him, and he did a good job of not forcing the shot and found open guys.
ball bit control good obviously pick slow strong team tempo won
They're a big, strong team. They're a good team all around. Any team that obviously has won state, they don't have a lot of weaknesses. They do like to slow the ball down (and) control the tempo. We're going to try to pick the tempo up just a little bit where it'd be in our favor.
bigger block good guy hard job kids taller
I think our kids did a good job (against Bogan). He's a big guy -- he's bigger than us, taller than us, and our kids battled. That's all I can ask. He's hard to block off.

That's something he's always done well throughout his career is penetrate and be able to score and create off that. He's done a good job of that this year.

Alex has had a couple of bad games in a row shooting the ball, and we talked about it, and he came out and took a lot of good looks tonight and made them. The team did a good job of realizing who was hot and getting the ball to him when we needed to.

It feels good. I've been with these guys since junior high all the way up.
bit defend past work
We can't look past them. They've been a little bit up and down this year. We've got to come out and defend and work on that on first.
believe challenge extremely pass possession seen tempo
Typically, they pass about 20 times each possession when they get it on offense. So they're extremely deliberate. That's something that we haven't seen a lot of down in this area, so it'll be something new to us. I believe the challenge is getting the tempo up to where we want it to be.
