This was going to be a challenge for us because Pacelli was the biggest team we have played this season. We didn't keep them from getting the ball inside, and as a result they took the lead. Once we started pressing their guards, we forced turnovers and moved things our way.

The kids are almost unselfish to a fault. They sometimes pass on shots they should take.

When Brad Tipple and I came here, we had the goal in mind to make it a top caliber team. Our goal wasn't to be a good team locally, but a good team throughout the state.

I think basketball is a home-and-away game. If I play somebody on his court, I would love to have the chance to play him on our court.

We had to change philosophies. What we were doing wasn't working. We went back to our man-to-man, that's been our bread and butter all year.

I was pleased with our kids. We haven't always come out with enough intensity. Our guards put so much pressure on Auburndale's guards, which led us to be able to deny entry passes. The pressure we had kept their scorers from getting the ball.
