We got some open looks, but we just couldn't knock them down.

This win kept us from being mathematically eliminated (for the conference title). If we had lost, we would have been eliminated with four losses. It was a huge win for seeding purposes for the playoffs.

I think he's a Division I prospect after a year at this place.

They were bigger and stronger. I asked the team to give everything they had, and I believe they did. Our motto was to 'step up or step aside,' and they all stepped up. I'm proud of the way we played.

They're very strong and athletic. They knew what they wanted to do, and they did it.

We put five players on the floor who can shoot the ball, and if they are going to double-team DeWayne, we'll find the open man.

We've played well at home this season, but we need to make sure we play like we need to and get ready for the playoffs. We want to be playing our best ball at the end of the season.

We're going to have to play a road game in the state playoffs, and that's the type of team we're going to have to beat.

It was needed. (Antelope Valley) has played that zone the whole season. Our plan was to penetrate and force them to foul us. We didn't do that. When we didn't throw the ball away, we were taking 3-pointers.

Those three seniors have been here all four years, and we've made it past the first round of the playoffs each year. That's their legacy. The players who stay here will have to live up to that legacy.

We've always set team goals. Making 100 points in a game isn't one of them, but if it happens it happens.

We didn't execute our game plan at all on offense. Defense and rebounding were great. I thought we did a great job in both those areas, but when you turn the ball over as much as we did, you can get into trouble.

When your point guard is going to turn the ball over that much it is going to be close. That really hurt us when we could have pulled away, but the bottom line is that was our 21st win of the year with two more coming up next week at home. Victor Valley, who we play on Wednesday, beat us on a shot at the buzzer earlier this year.

We wanted to have an extra chance in case we didn't make [the 3-point attempt]. We didn't want to be out of options.
