We got to within 44-40 in the last minute, but then we missed a couple easy shots and had a couple turnovers.
Steve Koehler
We started out sluggish, but they responded well and picked up the pressure and forced some turnovers.
Joel Sullivan
It's hard to swallow all of those turnovers. It's something we've been working on, trying to get those numbers down.
Drew Carstens
I was pleased that we came out ready to play. We played well together and played with a lot of intensity. We pressured them really hard early and got some turnovers to get that good lead at the beginning of the game.
Chad Allen
We controlled the ball better in the second half, we forced more turnovers and picked up more ground balls.
Mark Catlin
Obviously, our shooting percentage was horrible. We had a ton of offensive rebounds, we just missed everything. And we got a lot of turnovers, but we didn't capitalize when we got down on the offensive end.
Alana Erickson
We need to work on everything. We didn't expect to be in midseason form (Sunday). The offense had a lot of turnovers. I think the defense started out pretty good. We need to maintain our focus and discipline.
John Desko
The top four teams in the conference were there and although [the team] sometimes competed at their level, we weren't able to match it all game. They applied a lot of pressure and caused a lot of turnovers.
Dale Erickson
I think those two turnovers which they converted into points down the stretch made the difference.
John James
We needed another play. I thought the fourth-down drive was like a turnover. But we didn't get any turnovers in the game and that was the difference.
Jim Schwartz
As much as Mark has done offensively, he's doing a little better defensively, too. On the other side, Erik has really calmed down some of the turnovers since he came back from his injury. Mostly, it's decision-making. He has great vision on the court.
Scott Oltmann
We had too many turnovers in the second half, and that's what killed us.
Nedim Pajevic
It's hard to win when you have 30 turnovers in a game. We couldn't execute. Give Southeast all the credit. They got us playing 100 miles an hour, and we couldn't slow down.
Brian Reeves
That was a big play for them. Our defense played really well after that. We got three of their turnovers.
Craig Barr
We figured we could get some turnovers off our press. We're deeper than they are, so we could go all out and have support off the bench. We knew we could come out hard.
Marcus Lewis
When you play against (Highlands) you've got to take care of the ball and you've got to shoot it. We didn't have too many turnovers, but we didn't shoot well at all, and they had a lot to do with that.
Rob Detzel
I told her she had to come through for the seniors. I told her she had to make up for her earlier turnovers.
Chrissy Kelly
She often comes through for us in big passes or getting big turnovers. Tonight, she had big plays.
Nell Fookes
I thought it was a good game from a spectator point of view. We certainly had our opportunities throughout the game. What really hurt us were their points-off-turnovers, those were crucial, and our inability to hit some key free throw throws.
Carol Owens
They jumped the press and caught us off guard. They caused some turnovers and made their run. But coach (Ray) Sims called a timeout and calmed us down.
Marques Johnson
When you get to weeks six and seven, the team that is still getting better each week, committing less turnovers and making less mistakes, is the team that's going to win league. The teams with the best records right now may not be the best teams and I'm saying that about our guys too.
Rob Scheidt
We committed some bad turnovers in the final minutes. We had a chance to win. We just didn't get the job done.
Duane Gasperini
We got off to a good start, but we had a few unforced turnovers and let Lucas get back into the game.
Steve Mohr
I told the kids afterward we were playing hard all day, but we weren't playing smart. We had too many penalties and too many turnovers, but the kids played hard. I told them we've got to enjoy progress.
Al Roberts
Boston College is one of the most poised teams in the conference [and] for us to disrupt them and force them into 29 turnovers is huge. That's like forcing any other team into 50 turnovers.
Katie Meier
Nothing was going in the first half. Valley was aggressive and out-executed us the first half. The kids got back into it and worked the boards and created turnovers. As the tempo picked up, so did our defense.
Allen Kelsey
We didn't have any turnovers. Obviously, we have to do a better job of getting our offense the ball and shortening the field for them.
Kailee Wong
We're trying to work on turnovers, focus on rebounding and on not fouling so much.
Reed Gillespie
We had 10 turnovers in the second half. You could point your finger at any one or two, but it was the collective that hurt us.
Zac Schlader
This was a good effort and we executed much better offensively this week than we did against Chesterfield. But I'm disappointed with the turnovers and penalties.
Dr. Mike Wells
There's been a half-dozen possessions and we can be sitting here 14-1. But when we've been in close games we do not make good decisions. Game in and game out, when we handle the basketball and if we can keep our turnovers somewhere between 15 or 16 instead of 22 or 23, we can play with anybody.
Dave Butcher
For a while there we were giving up too many short passes and they started to get into a flow. Toward the end, we got a lot of turnovers — that's what saved us.
Gerris Wilkinson
Our motivation was to just keep pressing and force turnovers. Our starters picked it up in the second half and considering we played without one of starters, it forced us to rely more on our backcourt.
Allison Davis
I think another area is just playing with poise. You get in a lot of pressure situations, and I've been known to be a little turnover-prone. I'm working on the turnovers a little bit.
Abby Waner
We had control of the game but a few turnovers let them sneak back into it. We called timeouts to set up a few plays and when the play doesn't get executed, that's costly.
Bill Prince
We just committed big turnovers, when we were in an offensive flow. You really want to take those possessions and knock down some shots.
Bill Vincent
It was like they got all the momentum right there. But we just made too many mistakes, too many turnovers.
Brian Waters
We really controlled the game the way we wanted to. Our pressure hurt them and we forced some turnovers. Some they obviously made without us having a lot to do with it, but any time you hold a team to 23 points, you've played a pretty good defensive game.
Barry Borchers
We played well enough in the second half to win the game but we didn't take care of the ball down the stretch. Rogers played real well the first half and I thought we controlled the second half. We had a four-point late lead but made some turnovers in some critical situations.
Johnny Mason
We're so small that we have to get people into a full-court game, get some turnovers. That's what we do.
Scott Cross
David played an outstanding game with three forced turnovers and more ground balls than I could count.
Charley Juris
They got some turnovers in the press, and that's a momentum swing. It got 'em right back in it that was a tough one.
Sam Provenza
The first, third and fourth quarters, I thought we played with them, but in the second it came down to making turnovers and they (Hickory) came back and scored.
Todd Davis
We were our worst enemy Friday night, so we have to cut out the turnovers and penalties and be a much better football team this week. If we do that, we can only enhance our chances.
Johnny Roscoe
We've got to do a better job of taking advantage of our opportunities and eliminate our turnovers. That was the difference last week.
Tony Travis
[Colgate] didn't do anything the whole game, offensively, they didn't do anything, we just made to many turnovers. It's tough, but we're a team. We could have easily scored on defense just like they did.
James Shannon
I don't know why, but we were really flat. We had trouble again with turnovers and with rebounding. Those will hurt you every time.
Doug Sickles
Ironwood Ridge worked hard and caused some turnovers. Luckily we were able to hang tight and not let it get to us.
Kerri Brown
I was pretty pleased with our defense. Our game plan was to press them hard. We got some good turnovers with our pressure.
Amy Powell
I think I saw our young team definitely improve. They made great strides. The turnovers were young turnovers. It is a shame we came so close and couldn't get over the final hurdle. The mistakes -- they were positive mistakes, aggressive mistakes. It is a learning experience.
Mark Hatfield
We made too many turnovers and Osborne was able to get some easy shots.
James Gwyn
I thought the defense played pretty good -- [Colgate] didn't do anything the whole game offensively. We just had too many turnovers.
James Shannon
You just can't keep doing that. They made some big shots, too, but we made some crucial mistakes late that hurt us -- a couple of quick shots, a couple of unforced turnovers, a couple of fouls.
Harry Statham
Too many turnovers. We only had 11 turnovers against more pressure the other night.
Mark Slonaker
We never found our rhythm offensively. We missed open shots, we missed free throws, and we had too many unforced turnovers.
Doug Hayes
It wasn't clicking tonight. Some balls were there, and we just didn't make the plays. And turnovers killed us.
Nick Smith
I was pleased with our defense at times, especially with the turnovers we created early in the game. We want to keep offenses out of sync and off balance. That helps you make big plays.
Tom Amstutz
I think I've got the mind part of the game down pretty well, ... I've got to make more hits, force more turnovers and spark this defense. Being physical is the key because our expectations are to be a top-five defense.
Kawika Mitchell
Yeah, pretty much. It's a credit to them because, statistically, their bench has not been that good. The biggest thing I saw was we gave them too many opportunities by giving them the ball back too many times on turnovers.
Lynn Plett
We forced a lot of turnovers, and we were able to push the ball for easy baskets.
Shawn Sullivan
We've been playing much better in practice. We're doing a better job of moving the ball. Our turnovers are down. That's something we definitely improved on.
Curtis White
We broke it most of the time, but we turned the ball over too much. We're averaging 15 turnovers per game, and you can't do that.
Rick Francis
We turned the ball over quite a bit (25 times), but a lot of that is because Southeastern forced us into making turnovers. They're a very good team and haven't lost since some time last November. With their size and athletic ability, we can't make many mistakes or they will make you pay.
Marty Hawkins
We couldn't get them to go up and down as much as we wanted. The key was to get turnovers and we weren't able to do that.
Squeaky Johnson
This is one of the biggest games of the season. We just have to come out, play our game, limit our turnovers, and play under control.
Corey Rouse
We?d get up there and tie the score and our old plague of turnovers would come back. We?d turn it over, but it?s one of those things where you put faith in your team and once they start clicking, you knew things were going to be OK.
Patty Romeo
I didn't really see what happened, but some people said Stephan was fouled. Really, we should have never been in that position in the first place if we had kept our turnovers down.
Stuart Creason
We started cold, but we found our rhythm in the second quarter. Their size caused us some problems, but our press got us some easy baskets off turnovers.
Marty Dejarnette
We played with them in the second half. We played good defense, we only gave up 69 points, we can live with that. We just didn't score. Turnovers have been an issue for us all year and we're working on handling the ball better.
Shawn French
Like last week, our defense added a spark with turnovers. Chris Newson returned a pick 42 yards to give us a 12-6 lead. Then Kaleb Prothro intercepted a pass in the Hot Springs end zone to stop a drive.
Richard Moore
I've noticed that every time we shoot the ball well, everyone plays well. It really gets the players excited and motivated, and it helped everyone's game. It helped us play harder and helped us get a lot of turnovers.
Karl Smesko
We know he's not going to get the 3-pointers, but he's also not going to get 10 turnovers. He does the things that don't get attention.
Mark Horvath
We had no energy tonight. We didn't finish checks and we had too many turnovers.
Nick Pollos
He'll tell me about games where he made six turnovers and how after the game they'd call him 'apple turnover,' ... He helps me keep that fire.
Perry Patterson
Turnovers were a factor, but at that point, we were down and we were doing some things we don't normally like to do. We were running some passing plays that we're not real comfortable running, but in that situation we were almost forced to do it.
Jim Crawley
There were way too many turnovers. But they're a fast team, and they're very quick.
Christine Martin
Every possession was so critical. They did a nice job of handling the ball and we didn't play with enough patience. Obviously, 13 turnovers is too many for a game of that tempo.
Vince Lombardo
In the second half, between turnovers and missing shots we couldn't get anything going offensively. We had 21 turnovers against a 2-3 zone. You can't win playoff games doing that.
Eddie Miller
We had 14 turnovers the first half, so I felt fortunate to be down just by one. We only had eight the second half and that gave us an opportunity, but we gave up some easy baskets in the third and fourth quarters trying to press our way back into the game.
Ed Costley
We had put them away and (Harris) did some damage with his offensive rebounding. We were trapping them and they were beating the traps. (But) we played good defense and forced a lot of turnovers that produced some easy baskets.
Eddie Carter
(Clarksville) basically controlled the game with our field position. Our two turnovers killed us and they simply capitalized on our fumbles, but we couldn't seem to capitalize on theirs.
Fred Baker
When Wayne came back from Italy he said one of their main problems was their defense wasn't involved in the offense, and that he doesn't want that (to happen) here now. He told us defensemen we have to jump into the play and play as a group of five people on the ice. Hopefully, it's going to create some offensive chances. At the same time, we have to be careful of turnovers.
Zbynek Michalek
We came out in the second half and reasserted ourselves. We started to play our style and forced them into turnovers. We forced them to play like we wanted to.
Zam Fredrick
Every time we play the big teams, we've given up the big plays, we've had the turnovers. Talent-wise, I know we're as good as anyone in Palm Beach County, but we always make those mental mistakes. So that's what we've been preaching all week.
Eric Patterson
We settled down in the second half and played better basketball. The game was lost in the first half with the turnovers. The environment took (the Beavers) to another level with the crowd and the building. Then they hit some big shots down the stretch.
Bernie Kent
Both teams played a great game. The girls really turned the tide in the second half. We turned up the heat defensively which allowed us to cause some turnovers.
Eric Levie
We had a game plan to not get beat off penetration and to make their guys shoot the ball over us. For three and a half quarters it worked. But a few turnovers, a couple missed shots down the stretch got us. But I'm proud of the kids, they played hard.
Eric Jones
Just like the other day, we made too many turnovers and they capitalized. We played a lot better against the press today. The kids did wonderful here. I'm really pleased with their play.
Eric Balinbin
Our guard play was sub-par. [Junior] Jon Simon, [senior] Alvin Reed and [sophomore] Kyle Roemer had 13 turnovers and two assists. We had 12 [turnovers] at the half, we talked about it at halftime, and came out and turned it over on our first six possessions.
Emmett Davis
We had planned to move the ball around and use the clock, but we could not do that because we had too many turnovers. We played real good up until the fourth quarter, then we got a little over-anxious. We got into a rush, that's what caused the turnovers.
Emma Brooks
We won the second half. I thought we were strong with the ball, had strong rebounding and didn't have too many turnovers.
Eileen Kleinfelter
You can't win a ball game with 22 turnovers, that was absolutely critical. And we don't have someone who can step up and drain the three like they do, that's something we're missing.
