We got behind early, and it seemed like the harder we tried, the worse the breaks would get.

We got after it in the fourth quarter, and showed more intensity than the first three (periods).

We're a young team, we've got to learn from our mistakes. Hopefully, we can get out of a situation like that quicker.

The first ten possessions of the second half are important, and I was pleased that we came out and showed a lot of effort (to open up the second half).

More than the win, I'm proud that we played hard, and played together.

It's hard for me to say how we played. In close games, I worry more about coaching than the players. Alexander Central played hard, harder than us at times, but I'm proud of how we executed down the stretch.

We had a stretch where we had some turnovers. But (the players) kept their heads up and maintained intensity throughout the game.

We played with a lot of energy, played hard, but we made some poor decisions. McDowell's one of the best teams in the conference, and we have to strive to get to that level.

(Central) cut it close, but we were able to pull it out. Any time you can win on the road, that's big.
