The guys stepped up and shot well and that is what we need in the playoffs. We hope to shoot well tomorrow in the regional final.

We played well as a team. That's what matters. There's not going to be one player for Kountze. There's going to be five, six, seven guys who are all playing a role.

It all boils down to our defense. Some teams are not used to pressure defense and what we do.

It felt good to be back on the sidelines tonight. I really didn't do too much. I mainly let the assistants lead the game, but it felt good to be here.

We like to play full-court defense, but we can play half-court, too. I don't think Hughes Springs has faced a team that can play defense like we do.

We had to play hard to get back into the game. Another state championship is not out of the question for these kids. We lost three big-time players from last year.

Cameron (Powell) is a good shooter, but he only looks as good as the rest of the team.

It was just a tough, up-and-down game. It was a tough game for us but that's what we needed to see - good full-court man-to-man - to try to get us ready for the playoffs.

We played a pretty good game. We played consistent, and we did a great job shooting. Hughes Springs has some great athletes on their team, but we came out ready to play and we led the whole way.
