It was a really good game and Taft has a good team. They play hard and what I felt like we needed to do a better job of (in the second half) was defense and...

They hit enough. At that point you can’t play trade-off. We’ve got to be outscoring them all the way through if we’re going to be successful. If we could have cut that (lead) to single...

Hamilton, all his points were on free throws or second chance shots. His 12 points was the difference in the game.

I can’t say enough about how hard they played in that second half. If we could have done any of that in the first half, I think we could have turned the game around. In...

He’s an all-around player. The nice thing about him is he can shoot the ball and shoot it with a good deal of accuracy. He makes his free throws too. He’s just now starting to...

Michael always comes in and gives it 100 percent. He’s another one of the quiet kids on the team. He’s always thinking, ‘What’s going to happen here?’ He’s a player’s player. He’s ready for what’s...

You can’t match him on heart – he gives everything. Bill was a leader on the floor too. He was the one before every game that got the guys together for the group cheer –...

We try to approach the end of the quarters on a high note, and that can be a great defensive stand or a good offensive opportunity. I think our kids are understanding the power of...

We think this event has the ability to bring people from outside of the area. Thomas Hart Benton and the work he did is very popular right now, so we saw the momentum.

Bill played one of the best games he’s played all season. He’s one of the leaders on the floor and he’s one that when we talk at halftime, he really takes it to heart and...

Bill and Jay, they’re our bread and butter as far as rebounding goes.

Turnovers hurt us and especially in the first half. We had our team average in the first half for turnovers. We can’t afford to squander that many opportunities to score. We have to be smarter...

From the first quarter, right on through the fourth, I feel our kids played a good game. It’s always our hope that everyone will get involved and it was great to see Kyle Morrow come...

We played pretty well. There were some shots that we need to be able to convert that we didn’t.

At that point it’s anybody’s game.

I thought we played better each time we played. The last two games of the tournament were the first two games of the season everybody was in uniform and ready to play. I was encouraged...

Spencer is our most improved player. He just turned up the dial this year. He got more confident in his ball handling ability. He got more confident in his shooting ability. He’s a smart kid....

We played a good game except for getting the ball in the basket.

Every team that we play is putting their best defender on Chris and they’re trying to shut him down. But we’ve got a lot of guys out there we feel can score. We’re also working...

That fourth quarter was like a game within a game. Jackson was working hard, and knocking down shots, and I felt our kids were working hard too. I was really proud of the way we...

We didn’t do a very good job of denying the ball to Conklin. He’s a pretty skilled player. He’s a scrappy player. He likes to get out and mix it up.

I thought another young man who had one of the better games he’s played all season was Spencer. He got some huge rebounds. It was nice to look down there and see this guy way...

Travis played a really good second half. He plays big in big situations.

I was pleased with the way our kids kept playing defense. I’m proud of the way our kids played all four quarters.

As a team, we know that we’ve got to come out and be on top of everything from start to finish. If we’re going to get anywhere down the road, in the playoffs, we need...

I make substitutions based on who can hit a free throw. Keith Cochran is our most accurate free throw shooter. And I try to keep Keith on the floor as much as I can because...

Jay had a stellar night. He made five field goals inside, hit 2-of-2 at the line. He really did a good job.

We relaxed a little bit when we were 14 points up. They got back into it.
