We played a heck of a good team and beat them in a hostile environment. After Blake fouled out, the other guys stepped up.

We couldn’t stop Price in the first half. In the second half we stayed with him. They tried to go to their other guys and that helped us because Price wasn’t getting the ball as...

We got off to kind of a slow start. The second and third quarters, we clamped down on defense and were able to get some easy baskets in transition.

I’m happy with my bench. Nolan came in the game and was great making decisions down the stretch.

We’ll find out where we are. Both teams rely on their quickness and speed more than the inside game. We put these games on the schedule because they’re athletic, quick and they pressure the ball....

We can’t operate with just two guys out there. It takes all five guys on the court knowing their roles.

I think we’re always ready to play games. When you have a big crowd, that pumps the guys up. It gives them a little incentive.

I only saw them for a quarter against Shabazz, but I have some film to watch. I know they executed very well against Shabazz and they look like a close-knit, well-coached team.

They started taking tough outside shots. They weren’t getting many second shots. We were able to get easy baskets at the other end.

Joey really stepped up this year. He played a kind of point-forward position for us. He distributed the ball very well and was a great defender. Nolan played very hard for us, gave us a...

We trapped their guards. We ran a double-team at them. They made some bad passes and had some turnovers. We were able to capitalize and get some easy baskets.

We try to tell them to not develop any bad habits in these games. Stay fundamentally sound, and play the way you played to be successful. Try not to embarrass the opponent, and try not...

They (Sterling) were a good team. We played a very good team, and we played a strong second half to beat them.

They’re good. It’s a tough place to play. They have a great coach and a great player (Ellis). They always come to play.

I think we noticed it as a coaching staff, and the players realized we needed the role players to do their job in order to be successful. I don’t know if outsiders realized how truly...

He’s really good at getting the ball to guys who are open and guys who have the hot hand. He’s a very good defensive player. He does a lot of intangible things.

They had a great will to win. They’re very competitive people who don’t like to lose. They stayed focused throughout the season. Everyone played their best against us. They had a lot of pressure, starting...

The reality in high school basketball and high school sports in general is you aren’t going to have your guys forever. It’s time for them to move on. They’ve gotten everything they could out of...

It’s a great foundation. We just have to fill in with some other guys. We were successful before Brian and Blake got here. We’ll be OK.

The way we play, we’re playing at a high level right now. We’re not going through the motions. The guys are playing hard and doing the right things to get these leads.

He was able to get some easy baskets for us. He had offensive rebounds for put-back. He gained a lot of confidence for us in that game.

I’m very satisfied. It was a tremendous season. I have no regrets. I don’t want anything that happened in the Tournament of Champions to overshadow the fact we won three straight state championships.

They’re improved. They’re a scrappy team. Not a lot of talent, but they make up for it in terms of how hard they play.

At a Group Two school, to have two special athletes like that at the same time might happen once in a lifetime. That’s the reality. It went by fast. I like the challenge of trying...
