ball move strength
Our strength is the way we move the ball on offense.
happy heart hurting sadness son
That was very difficult. As happy as I was I had sadness in my heart because my son was hurting on the other side. ... This one's a lot easier.
chances heads lost three
We had our chances at the end, but we're not going to put our heads down just because we lost by three points. We're just going to keep working and getting better.
easy half haunt knock left missed points worry
We just didn't knock down some shots. We missed some easy ones in the first half and left some points out on the floor. As a coach, you always worry if that's going to come back and haunt you.
normally shooting shots stick team today
We take 21 more shots and make the same amount. I like to think we're a little better shooting team than that, but today we weren't. We just didn't stick it in like we normally do.
beginning best hope saved team
This team is just beginning to show what it can do. I just hope they saved the best for last.

To have this over is a big sigh of relief.
guys hard next region state team whether work
We'll have to have some guys really work hard this summer. Whether we make it back here (to the state tournament) next year, who knows? Only one team in the region makes it here and that's what makes it so special.
balance great pleased team
I was so pleased (Tuesday) with the great balance we had. One thing you can say about this team is we're not one dimensional.
assistant basis became coach daily excited finally head since
I've never had a full-time assistant since I became head coach here (in 2000). I'm excited to finally have someone with me on a daily basis here at school.
balls game next pack until wait weight win
This is the game that has all the weight on it, because if you don't win this one your season's over. You pack your bag, put the balls away and wait until next October.

The month of February was a really good month. The most important thing is what we do in the next two weeks.

The bottom line is we need one more great effort for 32 minutes (tonight) to get to Lexington (to the state tournament). We're not finished yet.
expect experience game guys last pay veterans
Those are the guys that are veterans out there - Timmy, T.J. and Bo. They all started last year. When you get in a game like this, you expect your experience to pay off.
