They were disappointed. ... They could've had an opportunity to go through league undefeated again, which is a pretty tough deal to do. ... But it's gone, and we'll have to play smart basketball the rest of the way to stay in first place.
Going up to their gym and playing up there, I honestly expected a closer game. But with the first quarter that we had and the guys started off shooting the ball well, it was pretty incredible.
They're going to be very, very good no matter when we face them again. The north tends to be a bit stronger and they've been playing against some tougher competition all year. If we play good defense and can have balanced scoring like we have been lately, I think we'll be fine.
He was still hobbling (Saturday). It didn't seem to swell up too terribly, so hopefully it will be all right. ... I think he'll be able to go this week. We'll have to tape his ankles for sure and go from there.
In all honesty, I don't have any regrets about the game. Especially, when the boys didn't give up. They were fighting right until the end. This was a great high school basketball game.
It was another one of those games where it just didn't feel like we had a real convincing lead. They were a very scrappy team. They didn't have the greatest shooters or the greatest post men, but they hustled very well.
If we can get our 20-plus points in the first quarter, it seems to be a real key to us as far as getting a 'W'. The games that we've lost, they've been games where we haven't scored a lot in the first quarter.
That was a pretty big deficit to try to dig a hole out of. They went inside on us to start the game. We tried fronting the post, but that didn't work, so we ended up playing behind them, and we got into some foul trouble after that.
I was most pleased with our balanced scoring, (especially) Micah and Grant. I don't think they've both been in double figures in the same game, and they were sharing and passing the ball, so that was the best part.
