Jerry sees things that I see. He calms the team down. With all the intangible things he brings, we're a much better team now that we've got him back.

It's huge, with the lessons you learn from playing those two games. We've been in the area championship and sub-state now. We know what it's all about.

He's become a better all-around player. He used to just want to shoot, now he's playing defense and knows when to use his body and penetrate.

Guys know that if they want to play, they have to earn it in practice. It doesn't matter so much who starts for me but who's playing well.

We made them play defense on us. They weren't used to playing defense for a whole game.

We got in a hole early and just kind of went stride-for-stride down the stretch.

He really stepped up. Julius has gotten much more mature as a basketball player. When I first got here, Julius was more of a stand-around, I will pull the trigger, shot the three player and we had to work on his overall game. Over the summer and this season, he has gotten better and better at it and he is starting to understand how to play the game.
