Marty Barnes
great knowing opponent trying
He has an uncanny sense of knowing where the opponent is trying to put the ball. And he's also got a great first step.
happy kidding
These guys, I?m not kidding ? they?re really focused. They?re not just happy about making the tournament. They actually want to play for this (conference) championship.
ball effort great jonathan kick mind presence took
That took a great effort on his part to know where that (missed) ball was going. To then go get it and have the presence of mind to kick it back to Jonathan was a great play on his part.
win
They (Van Buren) are in kind of in a do-or-die situation. They probably feel like they need to win out to get to the playoffs.
anytime board games motivation number played upset
Anytime I really got upset I'd write the number 57 on the board in big letters. Or I'd use it for motivation after games where we played well.

His biggest improvement this season has been his judgment with the basketball. He's not forcing passes or the offense.
conference picture playoff
After this week, the whole conference playoff picture could be settled.
biggest kids state step taking talk took win
I'm kind of in shock; I don't know what to say. By far, the biggest win of the year. To talk about taking the big step to Little Rock, we took a big step tonight. These kids want to go to that state tournament.
arm fanatical shot
A fanatical finish. That was the shot in the arm that we could actually go for '57.
either losses next practice ready reflect start wins
Really you don't want to reflect too much on either the wins or the losses after they happen. At the next practice you have to start getting ready for the next opponent.
huge kyle steal
That was a huge steal by Kyle to set all that up.
conference focus good keeping
Our team?s focus has been pretty good (during the conference season). They?re keeping things in perspective.
cause create defensive last problems surprised
He can cause us some problems on the defensive end of the floor. I?m not surprised with his last two games. He can shoot, he can penetrate and he can create his own shot.
kids miraculous
There have been some miraculous comebacks. The kids have done everything right.
