basics basketball fight hard teams until
They're like us in that they're not real big overall, but they play hard like we do. They just try to play the basics of basketball and that's what we do. We'll have two teams that fight until the end.
goals kids undefeated
The kids had goals and that was one of the goals. We wanted to be undefeated at home.
couple nice
That was big for us. He had a couple of nice assists and he showed a lot of guts.
explain game gave kids playing referee technical terrible
They gave him a technical and I really don't know why, to tell you the truth. I don't think (the referee) could explain it very well either. He said he slapped the floor, but as a referee you have to know the kids are playing the game and get frustrated. (Hood) didn't say anything to the ref. I thought it was a terrible call.
bright free pleased spot throw
The one bright spot I was pleased with was our free throw shooting. We were 20-for-25 from the line.
shoot
That's not like Brandon, he usually doesn't shoot like that. But sometimes you have those games.
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.
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.
shooting work
We've got to work on our shooting when we get back to practice.
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.
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.
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 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.
