arm fanatical shot
A fanatical finish. That was the shot in the arm that we could actually go for '57.
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.
carrying defense forcing held mental missing shots
Defense was carrying us. We were making mental mistakes, forcing some things and missing some shots around the basket, but our defense held together.
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.
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.

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.

His biggest improvement this season has been his judgment with the basketball. He's not forcing passes or the offense.
good guarantees math tonight
I?m not too good at math but I think (the win) pretty much guarantees us going to state. That?s the only good thing I see from tonight other than the win.
high jump seen
I don't think I have ever seen him jump that high before.

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.
broke defense indication interior quit time
For the first time this year, our interior defense broke down. That's an indication that you are a little shook. You quit doing things that got you there.
