15 Quotes by Darryl Adams

We were suffering much the same at this point last season and I'm sure some of these guys remember that. The only way we came out of it then was because we started playing as a team, which is a lot like what I'm starting to see now.

He came in at a good time because we were struggling and then he just shows up. He was a bigger kid and that was certainly an answer to what we needed. But not just in his basketball abilities alone. He is a positive role model for his teammates and the school. Johann demonstrates great character and I think the school and the community at-large has grown and benefited because of him.

We took the No. 1 team in the county right to the edge. I think we're playing our best ball right now and that we sent a message tonight to the rest of the county: Meade is no pushover.

His unselfishness goes a long way on this team. For example, he'll throw the next pass and he'll knock down the open shot. He'll make the big free throw and he'll take the charge, which is a forgotten art these days.

I just wanted to remind the rest of the county that this kid is a double-threat. He's not a kid you can just pack down on. He doesn't get stifled and he knows how to pick you apart.

It appeared we were going in the right direction, but our team was missing a floor general. It was at that moment, I kicked everyone out of practice. They needed a wake-up call. That was when Johann stepped up and became the leader of our team. It needed to happen like that and I'm sure he will remember that day for many years to come.

We had turnovers on five of six possessions against Old Mill. We've had trouble getting over that loss and we're trying to re-establish ourselves.
