That's a hell of a basketball team. People say 'Oh, Division 3, this and that,' but they're one of the best teams in the state of Massachusetts. They have a terrific point guard and Dozier's the real deal. I told (Dedham coach) Eddie (Hickey) before the game that it's amazing for both teams to be undefeated at this point in the year.

They're obviously a good team and they have the two 6-7 kids with Bernard and Holmes and they have a quick backcourt. They'll probably try to pound it inside to the big guys and defensively they might press a little bit like they've done before, but hopefully, we can open it up, get up and down the court and make the big guys run a little bit.

I thought he did it all (last night). We came here last year and Corey was in foul trouble. He didn't play much but he did score the final eight points. I knew it was going to be a different story (last night).

They played harder than us tonight. Our talented guards struggled, but a lot of that was because of good Framingham defense.

It is time for a change in the zoning.

We were missing shots in the first half. They threw a 3-2 zone at us and we had some good look early, but we couldn't knock them down. In the second half, we got hot and that was the difference.

This is a tough stretch for us. I think at this point in the season, we're getting a little fatigued, and we got a tough stretch coming up. It's definitely gut-check time.

We're getting better and better. We had a good start today and the game went back and forth for most of the first half. Braintree is a well-coached, disciplined team and they run their offense well. Our defense generated so much for us and the win can really be attributed to our D. Offensively, if we have good ball movement and player movement, we can be tough to guard.

They're very, very talented, no question about it. Corey and Anthony are big-time players, and that's why they're going to the big-time.
