They were the first team to do that in a while.

They have been tremendous this year for us. Their confidence level is extremely high, and as they continue, it will force teams to play the tempo that we want to play.

I guess you could say it's kind of like being in jail.

We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.

As good as we were (Thursday) night percentage-wise, tonight our foul shooting nearly brought us down. Our guards turned things up in the fourth, and once we hit a couple 3-pointers, we finally started playing Bethel basketball.

They pressure the ball so well and get into the passing lanes so quickly. Hampton did a great job disrupting our sets and getting us out of rhythm.

We just want to expose the kids to what took place in the past, show them how fortunate they are to have the opportunities to participate in sports, so they can have a better perspective of the challenges those athletes faced in those times.

I like to keep up with his progress. I am rooting for them every game that they're not playing us. I've got to.

I've got to know that.
