We just couldn't make anything. The shots just weren't falling and I think it's a confidence problem we have. I was happy with the ball movement we had. We just couldn't get it in the basket.

Tim Debruycker

They're way more athletic than we are, I'm sure everyone knows that. We don't have a lot of depth, but our kids played hard and did what they had to do to win the game. They just couldn't convert their shots. You won't win many games scoring 31 points.

Billy Mack Steed

If we'd have made half our open shots, we would have been down maybe four or five at the half.

Gavin Grant

I've seen him play so well against people like Shaq and Yao Ming, ... a dominant low-post presence - someone that can get you 20 points and 10 rebounds and block shots.

Jamal Crawford

Maybe we need to guard better. We probably do. They came off some screens and hit a lot of big shots. We were in a position to win if we hit a free throw and get a stop.

Doug Tolin

The 31 points in the first half must be our most this year. We played with poise, made good interior passes and got good shots. We played with a little more patience than we usually have done.

Rich Glover

Those shots came off the dribble, so that tells you what kind of player she is. Lee can really shoot the basketball.

Tamara Jacobus

We just missed the shots and that's the game of basketball. We had to foul to try to stop the clock. ... We can look at this game and say we're going to learn.

Bethany Irwin

We had a two-hour, 40-minute ride in the snow on the bus. In the beginning, we got down, 13-2, or something, you could see our shots were off and our legs just weren't under us yet.

Dean Duquette

Connellsville made the big shots and you have to give them credit. When they got us by the throat, they choked us.

Dan Andria

They just kept hitting shots. It was one of those nights where they kept hitting shots.

Michael Redd

The first half and second half were totally different halves for our team. I felt like we came out intimidated. We couldn't make our shots. In the second half, we worked hard, but it wasn't enough. We can't continue to win games if we can't put two halves together.

Crystal Smith

Not at all, because it was just little things that we know how to change and know how to deal with. It wasn't like we were getting frustrated and missing shots. We knew what the little issues were, and we were talking about them after the games and remembering them going into games. But not worried at all, because it's a long week.

Jill Officer

We played inspired defense, but we just missed too many shots to compete against a quality team like Mayville.

Steve Murphy

She just stood on her head today. She saw most of the shots we got through and the ones she didn't their defenders were there to clean us up.

Andrea Nichols

I think we played with a lot of heart and emotion, but we had trouble making shots late in the game.

Amber Fox

We just played with more focus today. We worked the ball really well around the perimeter, and we hit our shots.

Jordan Hammond

I'm just taking my stuff as it comes. I wasn't looking to attack like I was last year, and that's coming back. Take my shots when they're open and not pass them up.

Nick Dewitz

We finally began to get some good looks at the basket and made some shots to put ourselves in a position to win the game in the fourth.

Tim Ehresman

Down the stretch, we kept getting second shots, ... That's a backbreaker for a team when they're playing so well and after a tough possession we can pull it back out.

Nick Collison

North Valleys played very well. (Panthers coach) Matt (Murphy) had a great game plan. We did just enough to win. He tried to take (Caitlin) Crofts and (Caitlin) Anderson out of the game and did. We had some open shots that we didn't hit.

Karen Friel

Tomorrow everyone will be in the gym getting extra shots.

Quin Humphrey

Rachel hit some big shots, and the thing is, we finally started looking down the floor on them. We got down to crunch time and we put ourselves in the position to do the right things.

Mark Krusz

With Greenfield's pressure, length and size, we figured the only way to get good shots was to penetrate. Haley created some shots for us.

Phil Willard

When we had the lead in the fourth quarter I thought we rushed our shots. Nothing good can come out when you rush. We also were 6-of-19 from the free throw line.

Dan Bollinger

Really I've only done the same thing, I'm just hitting a little bit better shots now and not making too many mistakes.

Digvijay Singh

Our best players trusted that I would shoot the ball and knock down shots. It feels good and builds a team kinship that helps us now and down the line.

Jacque Vaughn

They make a lot of shots. They're good and I think they'll be here for a long time to come.

Cathy King

The way they play is real loose. They have fun, get up and down the court, and they attack ya, and however they get it off, they get it off. They try and get as many shots as they can, and rebound.

Luke Cummings

We see ourselves as a good defensive team. We were getting after them for a while. We couldn't get any shots to fall or we would've expanded it even more. Defensively, we feel we can guard people.

Nick Fazekas

I thought when their guards penetrated and got good shots, our big girls made the shots tough one them and that made the big difference.

Todd Borrison

It was rough. When the shots went up, it was football out there. We just tried to dig down and get stops at the end.

Julian Wright

I am pleased with my play up to this point. It is a great place to be, but you've got to keep plugging away. I'm hitting good golf shots and keeping the ball in front of me.

Franklin Langham

We should have played much better. Missing shots messed up our focus and we had some lapses. We can't do that (Saturday) if we expect to win the regional.

Curtis White

Defensively, I feel confident that we can do some things to create some problems for them. The key thing for us is that we take shots when we're in a rhythm, because when we pass the ball to the open man and stay in a rhythm, we've got a lot of guys who can make shots from both the inside and outside.

Tom Souder

They had a good purpose. We were pretty solid offensively, and when they took shots, we put a body on somebody. When there were loose balls, we were flying after them.

Douglas Scott

Jeffrey could have been better in some areas. He had some chances to challenge more shots when other guys were beaten on drives and had opportunities to get some more rebounds.

Johnny Jones

It's the same problem we've been having against better teams, people just are stepping up. We have to make some adjustments and work on getting more shots up.

John Franceschi

We put forth a good effort, but the shots didn't fall and we need to shoot well against a tall team.

Marlen Ronten

We did everything we were supposed to do, but we just couldn't knock down the shots. All you can ask the kids to do is get in a position to hit the game-tying basket, and we did that. There is nothing else the kids can do. ... You almost can't be upset.

Dave Waseity

We didn't play that well. Justin Duke hit some big shots for us late. We're going to have to buckle down and play hard to keep winning.

Steve Richey

We just couldn't make shots. They made them and we didn't.

Joe Dix

(Temecula) wasn't hitting their shots tonight, but you don't have to shoot great if you're getting second and third chances. But it wasn't for lack of effort. The guys were in there fighting.

Kurt Ruth

We weathered the storm and defensively were able to maintain. And Nathan hit some big shots at the time for us.

Joe Kinch

I still love Ken, ... He really means well. He put all his shots in the golf course project. It kind of blinded him.

Dale Maharidge

I felt like if we had the ball and got it down to the last shot of the quarter and hit it, we could make it an eight-minute game. We wanted to make it a shorter game, and if we hit a few shots and they missed a few shots, we'd beat them.

Steve Mcfall

I think the kids played really hard. But we missed some shots there that we normally make. That was the difference in the game.

Dave Munson

The last two games we've really buckled down and prevented more shots than we've been used to the past couple of months. That's nice to see the guys coming back and helping out.

David Leneveu

Eight shots is a lot to make up. I didn't get off to a good start.

Jonathan Kaye

At halftime, we talked about getting shots off in rhythm and, at least late in the game, the kids started doing that.

Tom Souder

That was a great defensive effort, because Wyoming is a very good team. They set so many screens and work really hard to create good shots. For a while there, our defense was really, really good.

Don Flanagan

We're disappointed, without question. It just seemed like one of those games where our shots would hit ankles or hit sticks. It just didn't seem like we had a lot of things going right for us.

Marc Habscheid

They took the lead in the second and never relinquished it. We shot 4-for-18 from the free throw line and that was the difference. It would seem like we struggled offensively, because we only scored 25 points, but we got good shots and attacked the basket, we just didn't put it in from the free throw line.

Marc Ducharme

Tonight getting out there on the floor, I felt more comfortable. The shots were just falling for me. It felt good to get in a rhythm.

Sebastian Telfair

We played together like the whole season. But missed shots and turnovers beat us. We'll be back at it next year.

Brittany Johnson

Health departments, in particular, they're having to postpone their clinics and turn away elderly people who might want their shots. It's important that people recognize that if they need to get a shot in November or December, that's fine.

Donna Brown

We talked about the fact that rebounding would determine the outcome. We rebounded well in the first half and were able to get some easy shots, but we ran out of gas.

Ken Cutlip

I haven?t had any questions about the kids and where they?re taking shots. I get excited when we?re aggressive coming off screens and taking shots, even when (defenders) are trailing. But I can?t force them. They are the ones playing. They have to make those decisions.

Pat Flannery

He's easily the best shooter on the team. We put all of our faith in him making those shots. We knew he could do it.

Andy Windsor

We matched West's intensity, but they made the shots. They're good. Taylor didn't miss too many 3s in the first half. We were too low ... we didn't get up in his face.

John Cislo

We're hoping that Long Branch can pull an upset. We were all sharing the ball and hitting our shots. We played some tough defense that got them out of their rhythm.

Gary Foster

A 16-day break is extremely long and it clearly affected us in this game. We missed a lot of easy shots and our free throw shooting was abominable.

Debbie Ryan

Whether it's junk, zone, man ... if it helps us win, I'll play it as much as we can. If we can just play them zone and not give them second shots. We gave them too many in the first half, but in the second half we did a better job.

Pat Coyle

We did a great job getting shots up. It seemed to flow for us right away.

Kodi Waite

Anybody that averages 28 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots per game is a significant part of everything you do.

Bill Bufton

It was pretty much back and forth all night. Give all the credit to Butternut. They have some good shooters and they knocked down some big shots late.

Matt Berger

We wanted to try and make them put the ball on the floor and come off the dribble. We knew they could hit 3-point shots. We had to get up inside there and make them put the ball on the floor.

Corey Gadson

When your shots don't fall, you just have to go get offensive rebounds and keep working hard.

Luke Babbitt

Robbie Schremp would stay out and take extra shots and try to show me up.

Jason Guy

He's a great, great player. He just didn't make shots (on Wednesday). They didn't do anything to take him out of his game. Sometimes it just goes like that. He just didn't make shots . but he'll bounce back.

Brad Jones

I thought we executed our game plan pretty well. With the shots we were able to get, we probably should have scored more points.

Chad Lavin

We are beginning to understand how important (foul shooting) is in a game. We had chances to cut into the lead and we missed foul shots. They started to bring the ball inside to get to the line.

Mark Mccray

They're the league favorite, but they're beatable. If we could have made some shots in the first half and played a little better in the third quarter, we could have been right there.

Jerry Woolsey

She was down, 5-4, and it was really windy, so she missed some shots, but she stayed tough and came through.

Rob Honzo

Every game that I play, I get more confident with my shot and with the ball. I am just trying to get more comfortable out there each game. I have a better feel for when my shots can come in our offense.

Beno Udrih

Camas wasn't good to us. We had good shots, but they wouldn't drop. We did grab a lot of rebounds.

Lacey Deweert

All you can do is contest him. If you contest his shots, then hopefully he'll miss them.

Bobby Simmons

We did give up some second and third shots. (Mercer) shot the lights out and played well, but they didn't do anything we didn't expect them to. The difference was we didn't handle it very well.

Judie Mason

We have our work cut out for us. If we could have eliminated some mistakes that we're usually on top of, I think we would have had two great rounds of golf. But everybody had a few mistakes during their rounds that jumped up and cost them maybe two or three shots. That makes a big difference during the course of a 36-hole day.

Bo Stephan

Really we can play either Tommy or Tyler and we know they'll stop all the shots we let by.

Cam Brown

I had 30 strikes in 35 shots.

Charlie Harris

We've just been unlucky. We've been taking shots that will eventually fall. It's a mental thing.

Chris Yoder

Maggie and Erin have been a tremendous 1-2 punch and Taylor has stepped up to make some big shots. We're scoring a lot of points with our shooting and we've also been doing a good job forcing turnovers that have fueled our fast break.

Dave Brogioli

I like to be the aggressive one. I was able to push it to his weaker side. It pushed him off his game and forced him to make the mistakes. He had his share of winners and good shots.

Matt Mcgranaghan

We came to play tonight. We were missing shots and free throws early and we were still only eight points down, We just made plays down the stretch. Coaches coach, but athletes win games.

Ray Lauwers

I thought we did a lot of good things that we haven't done on the road. The discrepancy in foul shots ... that's a big difference. We never got into the bonus, so we never had a chance.

Henry Bibby

That's kind of this golf course. You hit good shots, you get rewarded. You hit bad ones and you get penalized.

Jason Bohn

Tina Charles is obviously their main player and we tried to slow her down, but really, other players stepped up in the game and hit big shots.

Tracey Tipton

We defended him as hard as we could; but he made a lot of tough shots in the paint against us.

Anthony Lewis

He plays like a senior. He just hits big shots.

Adam Koch

We're peaking at the right time. We've been shooting the ball well and obviously getting the shots we want.

Ryan Hansen

You can't say enough about Kinney and the shots that he hit. He was 3-for-3 from 3, and those last two were big. I couldn't even believe he shot that last one with a minute left.

David Baumann

We didn't execute very well, and they played their zone well, but we settled for outside shots instead of continuing to try to get the ball inside, and we just didn't do a good job in the third quarter of getting the ball where we needed it. I credit them for some of that, and some of it is we weren't patient. Their zone was good, but our patience was not good.

Robert Griffin

Sometimes I really look to pass the ball more than score. Sometimes they still have to get on me about shooting open shots. I want to win more than anything, so whatever it takes us to win is what I'm going to try to do.

Ron Steele

They set every play for him. He hit some tough shots.

Jay Frank

We just couldn't get everyone doing their normal thing. And our shots weren't falling either. With a solid team like that, you can't afford to be off.

Debra Alexander

That 3-2 zone gave us some trouble. We broke it up last time with some good shots outside, but we didn't have those going in most of tonight.

Angie Lucier

The team is playing well in front of me. They are blocking shots, and we got a couple of lucky bounces. This game was a lot of fun to be a part of.

Cory Schneider

We leave David close to the paint and let the other guys gamble a bit defensively. Usually, he'll deter enough shots underneath to make a difference down there.

Joe Katich

We played a very good team tonight, on their home court. Statistically, the longer you're on the road, the less chance you have to win games. We missed some free throws, a couple of layups late in the game. They made a couple of big shots.

Henry Bibby

I can play anywhere on the court. Going against bigger guys, I can often drive past them and get good shots. If a smaller guard is on me, I can turn my back, post them up and get good looks.

Taurean Temple

We just couldn't knock down the big shots when we needed them, and we missed our free throws, too (18 of 32).

Joe Hosman

The thing that we talked about is things happen when you take shots. We didn't take the shots and put them onto frame where things could happen.

Mike Gurney

It's not much fun when you stay two periods in the net and don't get that many shots. In the third period, I actually felt a lot better. It's a great feeling to finally get a shutout.

Ilya Bryzgalov

He's a heck of a player. He hits big shots.

Pooh Williams

Everything was going our way in the first half. We had too many turnovers, missed free throws and bad shots in the second half, and they capitalized.

Keith Robinson

We had them playing our style of game in the first half, but we couldn't capitalize on offense. I think we were 9-for-29 from the floor in the first half. If we're able to make some shots, it's a different ball game.

Jeremy Hartman

Last season, we knocked off No.1 Lyman Hall early on and that was our landmark win. The Prep game was monumental for us. Even though the shots indicated it was one-sided, we played right with them. It gave us the confidence we needed to show we can play with anybody.

Kevin O'leary

Our guys competed their tails off. We gave ourselves a chance with the right people shooting the ball. If I were to make any excuses, it would be that Jason and Richard had to log a lot of minutes. Those minutes will catch up to your legs and affect shots at the end of a game.

Lawrence Frank

The kids really executed the game plan. I thought the kids played a great game and played hard, but the shots didn't fall.

Jon Nelson

For three, four minutes, their defense looked impenetrable. But then we settled down and made shots. Guys stepped up like champs.

Greg Mckenzie

We've been throwing the rocks pretty well, I'm not putting the broom where we need to put it. I'm not reading the ice very well, which is part of our problem. But we've got to make the shots when we have the opportunity, and we haven't been doing that. When there's a door open, we're not going in.

Janet Harvey

She's made big shots all year long and she doesn't get rattled. She's at the top of the press and then she's got the responsibility of getting inside and matching up on the post. She does a lot for us.

Alan Barton

If I can just keep playing steady and build on the momentum, anything can happen. I'm hitting enough quality shots. I feel confident.

Mike Weir

(Nolan) said she knew we could do better. She told us to keep pushing the ball and to play tough defense by stopping the outside shots and the dribble drive and everything.

Taylor Whitley

You really have to come to play against them. When they are making shots from the outside they are tough. And they did that early.

Todd Whetsel

This past weekend I really felt comfortable. I hit a couple of shots early and that gave me confidence.

Matt Arnold

I have confidence that I can hit shots I want to under tough conditions. I like my chances because I'm out in front and playing well.

Tripp Isenhour

(Edgewater) made some tough shots.

Matt Hixenbaugh

My rhythm felt pretty good out there. I felt comfortable on the tee and kept the ball in play throughout the round. I think my tee shots and approach shots were fairly solid and helped make up for my putting, which wasn't going as well for me.

Penny Carlo

We've been friends for 25 years, and he slept on my couch when he couldn't get a job. I loaned him $100 (56 pounds) so he could get his first set of head shots, so it's particularly gratifying, truly, for me to see him rise.

Grant Heslov

We just had trouble scoring, it's as simple as that. We got good shots, we just couldn't put it in the hole.

Lance Valley

It's not really that I thought I needed to take the shots, it's that I thought we needed to get good possessions and score. Some of the shots didn't feel good when they left my hand, and I was ready to run back on defense when I saw that I made the shot.

Matt Hackl

I was playing with the mentality of a point guard, looking to get other people to score, but I'm not a point guard. When I get the ball, it's coming to me to score. I just wasn't being aggressive. I lost confidence so I didn't think I could make shots. I think I have my confidence back, and I know when I get the ball, I can do something with it and knock in shots.

Kalana Greene

The last couple of games, we kind of got away from [giving Wayne the ball]. You've got to give him the ball. He does great things down there, which allows open shots for myself, Keith, J.R., and [forward] Christian [ Moody ] underneath.

Aaron Miles

Sarah really hit some big shots for us,. It was close midway through the second half. Meredith had another solid game. We took the ball to the basket a lot more.

Holly Misto

We had a lot of good looks in the first quarter. You get good shots and good things happen.

Kurt Melton

Kee was able to control the ball well and spot up and hit the outside shots.

Darren Mathews

What I remember is that I was getting open shots. We just rotated the ball around and my teammates found me for the open shots.

Jeff Chapman

In the first quarter we were executing offensively. We were looking to score. We had open shots, we were taking them and they were being extremely aggressive on the defensive end which helps us out a lot.

Rachel Farwell

When we did get looks we weren't knocking them down, and they were hitting their shots and locating their shooters.

Lora Staveness

Our guys realize that if we stop people from scoring, we're always going to have a chance to win, whether our shots are falling or not.

Tony Binetti

I was just taking what the defense was giving me. In the second half, I was finding some space and getting up good shots.

Brooke Smith

I was just being aggressive and got open shots so I stepped up and made them. We're really doing well and we got another big win against a ranked team.

Brian Laing

The first few minutes we weren't making shots. They weren't nervous, but I think they were excited to be playing Marlborough. It's always a big game.

Paul Bilodeau

We did a very good job in the second half of taking what was there. We scored from the inside, and that set up some good looks from the outside. We took some bad shots in the first half, but we were able to settle down and play in a rhythm.

Tom Souder

We knew they were going to sag on me, so coach (Brain) Brooks told our guards to hit some shots.

David Booker

The conditions were perfect for scoring. It was there to be had if you hit the shots. I got off to a ho-hum start and then I got it going (with a birdie at the par-5 fourth). I thought someone could shoot 59 at the start of the day.

Don Pooley

I think, quite honestly, she probably took shots too soon, too quick. She just wanted to help so much.

Kay Yow

We struggled to clog up the middle and prevent shots from outside the 18.

Lance Lattin

It's an opportunity to go in and knock off the top team in the conference. Like always, (Plymouth's) players play their roles extremely well, and this year, even though two guys are taking most of the shots, all the rest of them can shoot, too. You have to be alert as defenders on everybody, because their shot selection is going to be excellent.

Ryan Culp

You could just see it in our faces after we scored that second goal. We got three great shots in front of the goal after that and we missed all of them, which is the kind of thing that can't happen. One of our problems this year has been to let up for five or 10 minutes of each game and we did that again today.

Allen Carlson

At first I looked at the clock and glanced to see if anyone was open, and I knew I had to take it, so I just put it up and thank God it went in. I've made big shots, big plays, but that's by far the biggest shot I've ever made.

Terrence Roberts

Those were two cracking shots but I should've won the frame earlier. I'm really disappointed. That was an opportunity lost.

Ken Doherty

I was really focused today and got off to a good practice session and hit some good shots on the range. I started really quick. I hit it close on two and three and made a great putt on the first hole.

Robert Gamez

We allowed too many easy opportunities and it's something we've been harping on the last few games. Unfortunately it bit us once again. This team was the worst shooting team in the NBA, and our game plan was to force them to take nothing but jump shots. But once again they scored too many lay-ups and had too many points in the paint.

Tyronn Lue

Ariel took a lot of shots from all over the field. She was bound to find an opening for the goal.

Jennifer Truman

(The cut is) the beginning of several shots in the arm. I think the Fed acted early in the new year so to give themselves the opportunity in the end of the month to cut again, if things don't kick in as they like.

Robert Stovall

Anytime you get that many shots, it tells you one of two things. Either the goalies that you're facing are very good, and I've seen the level improve in each of the eight years that I've coached, or you better get more accurate shots.

Rick Gedney

The second half, we started making our shots and picked up the defensive intensity.

Lesli Priebe

Two weeks ago, Stewart couldn't have done this. Tonight, he rebounded, really defended and had the poise to take good shots.

Tim Floyd

Adair-Casey made shots. We didn't. We also did not take care of the ball as well as we should have.

Tyler Morris

If you give up 14 shots, you think you're going to win by a goal or two or three.

Bill Lechner

Before the race I would never have thought I could win it with 19 successful shots (out of 20), but during the race the wind changed and the conditions became very difficult (for other athletes).

Michael Greis

Our offense hasn't been in sync for about a month now. It looks like were afraid to takes shots and for that matter make shots, and tonight we just didn't look like we were mentally prepared.

Tim Ehresman

We played basketball tonight. We wanted to keep it simple. Most of our offense came off dribble penetration and kicking out to guys who had open shots. That's what we've got to keep doing from here on out.

Delonte West

Your offense, you can't really control from day to day. You can't control it if your shots aren't falling. But we didn't play to get stops on defense.

Carla Thomas

He's figured out how we've wanted him to play all year, and that's anchor the middle and change shots and make it very difficult for people to shoot around the basket. He has been a factor now in the last few games defensively.

Brian Katz

The kid's amazing. I mean, he seems to be on the scoreboard every night with some unbelievable shots. He's got one of the best shots that I've ever seen in the game, and it's just one of the quickest releases.

Brent Johnson

This feels great. I've made shots at the end of the third quarter before, but not to end a game.

Quentin Redfern

I have to admit, it was ugly. But a win is a win. I don't know what happened out there. Our shots weren't going in, but our team really wanted to get to Lakeland and it feels good to know we're going to state.

Alysha Harvin

His half-court man-to-man defense put the clamps on us. We started rushing our shots and lost our composure.

Kip Rhoten

I just wanted to penetrate and drive the lane and look for easier shots.

Kamille Wahlin

Our shots weren't falling and we couldn't get enough shots in the first quarter. We were turning the ball over on the press. Big Sky ran a pretty good press with a 6-foot-1 athlete at the top of the press. She was pretty hard to pass around.

Nate Hammond

As soon as Devon gave the ball up, they'd scramble off and pick the other kids up a lot quicker than teams we've played in the past. Some of our players were looking for wide-open shots and they'd hesitate. Once we did that, they were on us. ... We just weren't ready to shoot the ball quick enough.

Joe Murphy

This was a defensive battle between two teams that pride themselves in defense. There weren't many open shots, and there weren't any transition baskets. And both teams, because of the defensive intensity, had trouble finding a rhythm.

Harry Larrabee

When they made their run at us, Evan hit some big shots.

Rich Glas

This is the first shot fired inside the house. Before, all the shots have been fired outside the house. We don't know what happened.

Bill Toohey

They hit a lot of shots in the second half. They weren't missing too many, but we hung in there. We made a few baskets on our end to keep that double-digit lead, and we were able to hang on.

Ted Dreisbach

In order to find your shot, you have to keep shooting the ball and coach gives us the confidence to do that. (Tuesday) was one of those nights when shots didn't fall, but we expecting that not to happen (tonight).

Brian Chase

People turn it up on us and instead of going (forward), we start going backwards. That hurts us. And then we get where we can't get good shots.

Herbert Greene

We probably got away with a few misses on open shots tonight. We made a lot of big shots when they got close tonight, which helped us quite a bit.

Dave Boots

I didn't have to stop a ton of shots tonight because my teammates played great defense. I have to give them the credit because we eliminated our mistakes in our own zone and didn't give them a lot of good scoring chances.

Jeff Lerg

You play hard defense for 35 seconds and they knock the shots down ... it's frustrating.

Kellen Easley

In the first half, we came out nervous. At half, I said 'come on guys, let's go.' We settled down and we started hitting our shots.

Adam Stern

I know how good of a shooter I am. It's kind of frustrating. You get in and get two shots and you don't make them, and you sit the rest of the game. That's the only tough part about it is getting hot out there so quickly.

Rashad Mccants

It doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter. It's just about what you're going to do. Obviously you look at the penalty shots before to see what you can and can't do.

Nils Ekman

The kids worked hard and never quit, but we couldn't get the shots to fall ? particularly our free throws. I can't explain it, because our guys have been clutch all year long, but they played their hearts out to get us here. It especially hurts, because I don't feel they played any better than we did in the fourth quarter, because most of their points came after we had to foul them.

Jimmy Wallace

We were terrible offensively. I can't remember us playing any worse than that offensively. Early on we were a little tight and took some questionable shots, but really, we just really couldn't get any shots to fall. We didn't get in much of an offensive flow.

Brent Brede

They're a very talented shooting team. We knew that coming in and they hit a lot of big shots.

Ty Laux

I made some big shots early because I'm a shooter and that's my job. We just didn't do a good job taking care of the ball. They did a good job with their trapping defense, and we didn't respond well.

Latoya Jones

They (St. Joseph) obviously stepped it up a notch after halftime. They do such a good job of finding the open man when they're into it. In fact, they're so good that they can take bad shots and make them. And, when they miss, they just go to the glass.

Mike Ortiz

The kids really stepped up. They played as one. All week long in practice we've been talking about playing as a team, creating shots for each other and making the extra pass.

Lisa Mandeville

We were down 10 and I thought we did a great job to tie it up. [Elkins] hit shots down the stretch and we weren't able to do that. Of course, it hurts when you've got two of your better players, seniors, over here on the bench with me.

Aaron Hall

This was a good one for me as far as my consistency goes because that's a good team that doesn't beat itself. It was just a matter of pulling the trigger and making my shots.

Dwyane Wade

We were hitting tonight. We took good shots, and we finished.

Debbie Ryan

If I'm open, I'll shoot the ball. I take shots that coach will be OK with. I don't try and create too much.

Kenton Paulino

Caitlin did an awesome job. She played a great game. If one or two of those shots get past her, that changes the game.

Ray Moore

We hit a couple crossbars and had a couple good opportunities near the end of the game but just didn't put them in. Its not just defense, we need to put the ball in the net. We're getting 12 shots off in a game. You have to put at least one in the net.

Sue Herodes

Everybody hits bad shots every now and again. Mine just happened to come on Sunday. It wasn't because I didn't feel comfortable or anything like that. I'm just going to keep going exactly the same way (today).

Daniel Chopra

Our younger kids learned a lot tonight. They kept the floor spaced wonderfully and they hit shots.

John Schwan

After we cut it to five, we made mistakes. We were rushing our shots, and trying to do it all by ourselves, instead of like a group.

Kurt Greene

We're professional athletes; we got to fight through it. We're just not making shots. That's what it boils down to. They're sending two and three guys to Yao. We have to make shots.

Keith Bogans

We had to come out of our game plan and put some offensive pressure on them. And we did. We had shots ... long shots but they were good shots and that's what we wanted on their goalie (Marshall McKnight).

Terry Parker

We're not a very good shooting team. But we can hold people to 50. Once our shots start falling, we will beat teams by more points. Offense is going to come; you are going to make shots. What you can't do is take a day off on defense and we don't.

Sergio Rouco

It was perfect conditions. The pins were tough, but I hit good shots and I gave myself birdie opportunities.

Simon Yates

I thought our defense really wore them down and forced them into some bad shots. We've been known to make some steals, but tonight we capitalized and finished them.

Matt Swanson

He's a great player. He hit some big shots down the stretch to help them pull away.

Trey Johnson

We started clicking on all cylinders against Blackhawk. The kids were very unselfish that game -- they passed up good shots for great shots by someone else.

Mark Javens

They execute very well and they made shots tonight. Both teams competed. They executed and they made more shots than we did. I thought we battled and we fought. They just made more shots.
