This was an awesome season and this game doesn't take away from that. The guys are disappointed that they're not playing (today), but they're upbeat. Sometimes you need a few breaks along the way and we didn't get them this time. We played with a lot of heart, passion and emotion. It was an awesome experience.

It wasn't a pretty game. They slowed the tempo way, way down, took the air out of the ball. The flow of the game was not real smooth. But we did a good job. I thought the kids were pretty disciplined.

In the second half, I was really proud of our kids. I thought we played with a lot of character and a lot of effort.

I'm not disappointed. I've never seen a group of kids put together a half of basketball like this before. It was a barnburner, one that they'll remember for the rest of their lives. If we played like that in the first half, we would have run away with it.

Those guys played huge in the second half. Jason, Carlos and Ross (Gomes) gave us outstanding performances off the bench.

We have attempted to contact Bobby, using every method we know of. He has simply disappeared. And, as far as we're concerned, he is no longer responsible for the land.

This was an awesome defensive performance by the Chokers. (Big Bend) has a high-profile offense and we marked up their scorers. They didn't score. The kids' effort was great and they bought into the game plan.
