They played with a lot of poise, give them credit. I thought we could have rattled them.

For one, it took their crowd out of it some and, two, it gave us a tremendous amount of confidence. Our confidence was a little shaky from (Washington) whipping us on our court.

If I went with a big lineup, then we got in trouble offensively. If we went with a small lineup, they’d throw over the top. It was a tough situation trying to match up with...

The last couple game we took too many bad outside shots. We went with a different philosophy and attacked the basket.

It would have been a different game if we would have hit a few more in the third. We kept the press on because we thought we could rattle them. They displayed a lot of...

He’s always been a very good shooter. He takes high percentage shots. He’s always been pretty good at ball-handling. He drives and dishes the ball better than anyone.

He’s done that before. That’s something he’s practiced.

Defense was key to the section. You look at Washington and all their success. A lot of it has to do with them always being the best defensive team in the section. Since we lost...

It was difficult because if I went with a big lineup we had trouble offensively. When we went with the smaller lineup, they just threw it over the top of us. They’re big but they’re...

I can’t believe we did that. That’s amazing.

I noticed a huge change in him once he won that state golf championship. As a sophomore and junior, he shied away from the tough situations. As a senior, he wanted the ball. He wanted...

We’ve been able to put him on the other team’s top guard all year and he does a great job.

The turning point for him, and the turning point for the team, came when they got waxed at home by Wash High. After the game, I asked Christian when he was going to do it....

Playing the (play-in) game helped us a lot. It’s a big win for the program and for the section. It makes a statement about our section. We’re a lot tougher than people give us credit...

They gave all they had on the court against Aliquippa. They accepted that and moved on after a day off.

This is a senior-laden team and I think that makes a difference. The kids kept their composure and played smart at the end.

If they didn’t put a body on us, they just jumped over us. Their quickness, speed and height were too much for us. We wanted to offset that with our shooting ability but they suffocated...

We want to come at them with our speed so we’re going with a smaller, quicker lineup. We want to use our full-court game and work it up the court quickly.
