He is fine; it won't be a problem. When you turn an ankle for the first time it can be painful; you are not sure what you can do on it. Lamar was worried more than anything.
At the end of the third quarter and in the fourth, the kids decided this game was over, and they were going to get ready for (sectional opponent) Marion.
Michael tried to carry the whole team on his shoulders. Nobody else stepped up.
It did surprise me; I thought they would be a good challenge. Without Lamar especially, but we had some kids step up. That is something this team is starting to do; others step up and take the pressure off of Lamar and Michael (Teller).
Marion was the most athletic team we had played all season, before Fort Wayne Snider. All five starters, and maybe the first seven or eight players, are all extremely athletic. We did some things to turn it into an equal playing area against Marion. We'll likely use some of the same things against Snider.
They don't stop cheering. It can get very loud.
He is doing things you want a point guard to do.
We are thrilled with how he has played. He has had a chance prove what he is capable of doing and he has played extremely well.
The other kids do the little things, like setting a screen to get Lamar (Lee) and Michael (Teller) open. Or getting a rebound or checking their man out so somebody else can get a rebound. That is being a real smart player, understanding they don't have to shoot to make us good.
