extremely half hard harder next picked played pleased second short
I wasn't very pleased with our play tonight. (The Trojans) played extremely hard in the first half but we picked it up in the second half. If we don't come to play a lot harder in the next two weeks, it will be a short two weeks.
came flat job last night offensive rebound second tough
I don't want to make excuses, but we had a tough one last night and I thought we came out flat in the first half. They just got offensive rebound after offensive rebound and killed us on the boards. In the second half, I thought we did a lot better job getting to the boards.
beat floor good guard kids loose played ready scrap
Our kids aren't going to back down from anybody. They'll come out fighting, ready to play. We'll scrap and get on the floor for loose balls. We're going to guard you. If you beat us, you played a pretty good game.
bad ball beat defensive excellent felt good job learn loss mistakes numerous offensive poor team turned
We got beat by poor shooting. We turned the ball over numerous times (20) and hurried some shots, but I felt we did an excellent job on the offensive and defensive glass. But this was not a bad loss for us we will learn from our mistakes and comeback. We got beat by a good team tonight.
coaches fourth higher might people picked proud seems state team wish
I thought he might get on a higher team but being picked fourth team all state is something to be proud of. Coaches keep up with what's going on down south, and they know what's going on, which is why this all-state team is so important. It seems to get the most respect. I just wish more people had been able to see him play.
ahead beat experience fans farther gone good hope proud realize stuff team tonight wish year
We can't complain. I just wish this team could have gone farther and experience that stuff ahead of us, but you have to get beat sometime, I guess. Our fans were great. They showed up tonight and that was good to see. I just hope they realize what kind of year we had. This was a really good year and I'm proud of them.

That was big for us. He had a couple of nice assists and he showed a lot of guts.
battling fourth guts guys lately sickness three
We were sleepwalking through three quarters. We've been battling some sickness here lately but we're not going to use that as an excuse. The guys showed guts in the fourth quarter.
bench bring grab nice people playing
You know, he's been playing like that for us all year. People say 'Why doesn't he start?' It's so nice to grab him off the bench and bring him on the floor. He does things for us and he's comfortable with that role.
next practice regional
We'll get after it in practice next week. It's regional time. We'll see what happens.
ball battle felt game gave good last team time
We felt like we gave the game to them the last time we played. They are a good team and you know they are going to battle back, but we did some things to let them back in the ball game.
boards controlled defense good kept playing struggled
We struggled on offense, but we kept playing defense and kept getting stops. I thought we controlled the boards and our defense was good tonight.
ball changes extremely game good hard knew last running shooting summer worked year
He had a good year last year but he worked extremely hard over the summer to make his game better. Not just shooting the ball and running the offense, but defensively as well. He worked at it and everyone could see that. Everyone could see the changes and knew that he was a lot better.
felt games hurt last
I felt it hurt when Fischer didn't play. The last two games we haven't been able to finish.
