Eddy does a good job every year and those guys never quit. We had 'em knocked in the head a couple of times and they showed some great poise and composure coming back. They have a lot of pride in their program and we have a lot of pride in ours and it's always a good battle when we get together and play each other.

He's a big body, he played awfully tough tonight. I think he had 21 points, probably the best game of his career. He's a horse inside and we're not very physical. . . My hat's off to Elijah, he's a solid ball player inside for them.

It's nice to be able to get a game where you can play everybody and get everybody a lot of minutes. I think we had everybody but one score. Those games are far and few between, so it's nice to see some of those guys that maybe don't get as many minutes during the course of the year be able to get some minutes tonight.

For whatever reason, sometimes we don't attack the basket, and we need to attack the basket aggressively when it's there.

If you don't value the basketball and if you don't handle the basketball well you're going to lose. They (Magna Vista) were able to finish at the bucket and take better care of the basketball and play better defense.

Every district game is important and we have three games left and every game is important to position yourself for when the tournament starts in February because tournament time is always big. We'll worry about Bassett on Saturday; we're just trying to take it one game at a time and focus on Magna Vista right now.

I was really pleased with the way they rose to the occasion to get (several) defensive stops at the end of the game. When the game's on the line, it seems like these kids dig a little deeper, play a little harder and do what's necessary to get things done.

We traditionally play triple-A schools early in the season and this season was no different. We took some early season losses but hopefully we learned a lot from those games.

We just didn't finish. I felt Bassett played hard. We played hard, too, but we didn't convert some turnovers down the stretch. We just got to finish at the basket and be a little tougher when the game's on the line.
