We played well defensively. I think our kids are playing with a lot of confidence. That's the kind of stuff that you want when you're about to head into the conference season, so it's definitely good for us.
Its hard to lose any game and especially one that's so close. The fact that we didn't come away with the win doesn't lessen what these guys did last season at all. They've been a classy, hard-working bunch all year long. They played with a lot of courage and a lot of determination. I couldn't be any more proud of them. I wouldn't feel any better about them even if we'd won that game.
That was a good total team effort and we obviously needed something like that. The kids have all been working hard and they all got rewarded with some playing time.
You look at the other team and try to figure out who's capable of beating you. Obviously, we're not going to shut anyone down, but we tried to slow those guys down.
The way that we play, that's a good sign for us. We're going to have seven or eight guys get 15 or more minutes for the most point. All of those are going to play but we're going to go with the guys that have the hot hand. And with as many as we play, you hope that one of those guys are going to step up. Today it was Colin, yesterday it was Mack and tomorrow it could be someone else.
Our strength is our defense. We try to pride ourselves on defense because we feel that when we execute it correctly, we can create plays on offense and hopefully make some open shots. These past two days, we've really shot well though.
Most of the polls and rankings are generated out of Little Rock and those people never bother to go see the West play. That's a lack of respect for our conference more than anything else.
We did a great job on the glass, blocking out and going to get the ball.
West Memphis is always among the top three or four teams in the state every year. It seems like they never have to rebuild.
