We have a tendency that we want to dig holes for ourselves we have to dig out of.

A couple of coaches had said [Little Elm] could be right in the thick of things as a first-year program.

We had numerous scoring opportunities after that. We played much better in the second half.

When we have the right combination it clicks well. It actually helps the offense because of the three forwards.

We began playing more helter-skelter. We were playing more one-on-one ball rather than team ball.

We are thin in terms of our starters. We had no legs. With the fifth game in three days ... we aren't that deep.

That just pumped everybody back up. It gave us a good buffer.

I'm not getting any calls to tell me to vote for that arena.
