ask closed depth focus game generate practice team tonight
I think we're getting better each game and tonight we closed the game better than we've been doing. This is the focus that we want to generate on a team with this much depth and I ask them to come to practice with the same attitude, to improve.
offense
I think we have to play 48 minutes. We have lapses on offense and on defense.
advantage held hung took tough
I think during tough times we held on and fought. We just hung in there and took advantage of big plays.
coming good saw southeast three victories
I saw a very good Southeast Polk team. They are coming off of three victories and one of those was at Ankeny.
days free last shot three throws
Over the last three days we have shot 250 free throws each. That was the thing I thought we had to do better at.
continue fill gives great grow move opportunity potential students year
I think (Macon) will be a great move for us. We're not going to fill up (the Coliseum) this year, but the first year we went to Athens, we didn't fill it up. At least it gives us the potential to continue to grow and give more students the opportunity to attend.
close kids year
We've been doing that all year long. We've had a lot of close games. You've got to let the kids play in that situation.
mixture sustaining work
If we all work together, we'll have a sustaining mixture for all of us to have.
tough
He is a tough nut. He's one of those lunch-pail guys.
instead prepare teams
You have to prepare for two teams instead of one.
against bring conference focus improved shows team
We had the conference championship as our focus tonight. We wanted to bring it back to Dowling. For us to come and play as well as we did against an improved Indianola team shows that.
next possible six soon within
as soon as possible within the next six months.
best conference time
At one time I thought our conference was a lot better than the (Metro), but right now, their conference is very tough. It's probably the best it's ever been.
few final games win
The win was very important for us and could be the kick-start we need going into the final few games of the season.
