It's a 32-minute game. The kids are starting to realize its been nip and tuck for us in the first half of a lot of our games lately. Then Jimmy caught fire and scored almost half of our points.

We were playing for No. 30 tonight. That was our motivation. He's a three-year starter and he's been denied half his senior year.

When you look at Mansfield Senior, they're deeper than we are. The difference is we are a little bigger. They sub speed for speed.

They're probably on the locker room floor right now because they're spent.

It's a historic rivalry. When you look at the history of the league, Willard has 24 (boys basketball) championships and Bellevue has 17 and everyone else is in single-digits.

There have been a lot of great coaches and players come through the program and I'm proud to have been a part of the 1,000th win. To be one of the 30 or 40 programs in the state to have 1,000 wins is a great honor.

In a 32-minute high school game, I'll usually give them 28 minutes. That's the middle of the fourth quarter. If the other coach waives the white flag and pulls his starters at the beginning of the third quarter, I'll do the same.

I know Jon had 38 points and they had 73 points, but I thought we played great defense. It was a great team effort.

That was good stuff. It was a great crowd and that's what high school basketball is all about.
