He did a tremendous job of going to the rim and he's the one who changed the game for them.

I don't know that it was easy, but it's just nice to have the newspaper here and get a win, because we were 0-2.

I really don't have an explanation for our fast start. But the goal is to win games and we got out of here with a win and we're going to play another day and that's all that matters.

He's a great player, a great offensive player. He loves taking the big shot and being the guy.

We just turned our defense up and the shots went down for us. It's huge because we haven't had a close game in region yet. This is just what we need going into the state tournament.

I'm just pleased with winning the game. I don't care how we play, I just want to win games. I'm not concerned with playing the perfect game.

I thought they did a tremendous job of turning (the physical play) up and doing what they needed to do to make us struggle. But if we make our free throws down the stretch we win this game easily.

That was a huge comeback for us. It was a situation where these kids played hard and wanted to win.

The ranking early was nice, but it ended up hurting us a little bit because our kids thought they were the No. 1 team and didn't realize how hard they were going to have to work to win basketball games.
