It has been a surprising year. We only have two seniors who are starters. I like the way our team has come together. We got two of our starters hurt in football and but they are back now and it's helped our depth.

You hope (it doesn't take as long to get back), but it has been awhile. We went through some teams where we didn't have a lot of size. This team has been a real joy. They've come together and the size helps.

Ford getting in foul trouble really hurt us in the first half. But he came back and played a tremendous second half.

I thought we played our usual good defense in the game holding some of their outstanding outside shooters down.

Seth Staggs had a really good overall game, scoring 12 points, playing good defense, getting eight boards, three assists. Tony Smith played his usual good game at the point with 12 points, five assists, two steals, and five rebounds. We spread the ball nicely. We had four guys between nine and 19 points.

We knew it was going to be a tough ballgame. I have great respect for the coaches at North. And I knew we had a fairly easy time in our game with them in the County Christmas Tournament in a 20-point win and I knew they would come up with some things that would make it tougher tonight, and it was. It was close until right at the end. I'm just glad we got this road conference win.

In the course of the interview, these officers felt like this individual may be operating the vehicle under the influence. They felt it best at that time to conduct a series of tests that would allow the officers to determine whether or not she was driving under the influence.

We got off to a fast start. But East wouldn't let us go away and hide. We didn't play particularly well in the last three quarters, so it's good we got off to the good start. Coach (John) Johnston's players played hard all night.

This Hudson kid is awfully, awfully good. Our guys hung in there, kept battling, kept it in the 10-12 range. I couldn't be prouder of these guys, they've had a tremendous season and came in here and did their best tonight.
