They're just too good. ... It was like running into a bus.

Five out of our top six (players) are football players. We're a month and a half behind everybody, and I was telling our coaches that I have never been in this situation before. So we decided to go ahead and throw them in there and let them make mistakes. ... We can't go back to Day 1; we can't catch up that way.

Hopefully, this was a wake-up call for us. I told their coach they deserved to win this game. I think we were looking past them.

I thought we played really well. ... Tonight was the first night we started to play up to our potential, and it felt good.

When you get to the regional tournament any win is big. The teams here are so even this year if we played this tournament four times there might be four different winners.

We're doing a feasibility study on upgrading the facilities. It excites me.

When you play against (Highlands) you've got to take care of the ball and you've got to shoot it. We didn't have too many turnovers, but we didn't shoot well at all, and they had a lot to do with that.

After Wight went out with his fourth foul (in the third quarter) we got four or five steals in a row. I really thought that changed the complexion of the game.
