We got some people with some fouls so we had to use a lot more people off the bench and they all came to play.

I thought we played with a lot of energy, but we just didn't shoot the ball very well. We were atrocious at the line. We got some good free throw shooters there at the line near the end and that helped.

I think (the Rams) are as good as any team we've played this season. They just play so smart. Every player they have can shoot and pass the ball real well.

We can't catch a break, can't catch a call. Things aren't going our way. We've got to get out of this losing rut.

That's as good as we've played all year. A lot of (the offense) came off our defense with some steals and grabbing some long rebounds which started fast breaks.

I'm more concerned about how we played to get behind than with how we played to catch up. I think we got some conditioning in today. It's going to be really hard for us to come back with an emotional letdown.

I mean fourth-graders ought to be able to make 11 for 26 blindfolded. That's embarrassing.

We're going to try some things this game we normally wouldn't try in a district game. We're going to try to win the game of course, but we're going to experiment with different combinations on the floor to match up with (Midland High).

We played better. We couldn't keep people in front of us in the first half. We had better defense the second half. We got off to a good start but we just couldn't keep it going.
