brought coming couple energy fresh log main played starters
Our starters log a lot of minutes. At that time, we made a couple subs and we were fresh coming off the bench. The main thing we did was brought a lot of energy and played defense. A lot of times, that's all you need.
eclectic night
That's what we like about it. It's an eclectic lineup any night of the week.
clock lead pull slow work
It's not my characteristic to pull it out and slow things down, but we have a 10-point lead there, and we're in the bonus, let's just work some clock and try and get lay-ups.
appears
It appears he went on a little rampage in the showroom.
final hold late run
They made a late run, and we got it back to two. We could have won, but they managed to make that final run to hold on.
anytime grinding hold played points proud seconds team win
I was so proud of the way we played defensively. Anytime you hold a team to 28 points you should win the game. You shouldn't be grinding it out with two seconds to go.
bread heart huge
He's a stud. That's his bread and butter. He's got a huge heart.
bottom finding found great line struggle
It's all about winning. Sometimes you play great and win, sometimes you struggle and win, and sometimes you play great and lose. The bottom line is finding a way to win, and we found a way to win.
easy huge
He only had one or two easy baskets, which is huge for us.

Every couple of innings they kept putting in a new pitcher, so we were seeing something different.
call came change guy huge playing shook stepped zone
They'd been playing a zone the whole game, and they came out man, and I was going to change and call a different set, but we went with it and Nate stepped out there, shook the guy and made a huge shot.
easy forced guy half led quick second transition
The second half we got out to a pretty quick start. We forced some turnovers and really clasped on their big guy and that got us some easy buckets and led to some transition points.
feels good move state ways won
Olympus has never won a state championship in 50-some-odd years, and we're still a ways from that, but it just feels good to move on.
game points seven six talking
I've been talking all year, we've got to find away when we're up six or seven points up to put the game away, but we couldn't do that.
