The bullseye on our chest is growing, we are getting everyone’s best shot. We are stepping up to the challenge.

I told the kids that if you think that’s a fun environment, wait until next month. I can’t wait until (playoff) season.

We just kept telling them to attack, attack, attack.

We’ve typically started games slowly and methodically stuck to our game. Everybody is pretty excited to play us. We’ve been resilient.

They ran with a double-down on Englund, and he showed enough awareness to get the ball to Meuli who made a great shot.

It’s unbelievably high. All five starters are in the top 10 in the league in free-throw percentage.

I thought about that a lot this year. I think a lot of it is the quality of their character. They’re always positive with one another.

It wasn’t a beautiful game. We didn’t execute great offensively or defensively, but we had guys make plays when they had to.

I hadn’t even really thought about it. To share it with an amazing group of kids is great.

He’s the best shooter we have. He got more open looks than usual.

We have a special deal in our community, and with the kids. Unfortunately, it’s about wins and losses sometimes. But overall it’s a lot bigger than that.

We set the tone late in the first quarter and then more so in the second.

It was a little tougher than maybe it should’ve been. They made a couple of plays. Give them credit.

We kind of dared them to shoot the ball from the outside, and they made us pay.

We definitely didn’t have the size to match up with him. On the defensive end, he was grabbing all of our misses. You’ve got to play perfect against a guy like that.

They were making a lot of shots in the second quarter. I didn’t think we played poorly.

I’m still very proud of these kids. I will go to battle with them anytime. I have no regrets with these kids.

Lynden is a good basketball team. There is no question they were better than us. That certainly wasn’t the best effort we had.

(The bye is) a little bit helpful if you look at the bracket.

I guess we messed up a lot of people’s brackets.

I don’t shy away from telling you that if we didn’t win this game and qualify for the state tournament, it would’ve been a disappointment for all of us. To get it done in this...

Pretty darn courageous effort. We made the plays late we needed to win the game. These are kids I want to be with every day This is a special group of kids and win or...

It’s a quality opponent and an opportunity to play a future NBA player. It’s another challenge for us.

It’s the best class we’ve had.

I tried to get them to remember that. That’s something we can be proud of.
