18 Quotes by Jake Krause

We guarded them a little harder in the second half. They made some bad passes and took some tough shots and that's where we were able to get some separation.

We knew we were the underdogs. They're awfully good and we came out tentative.

He shot the ball outstanding from the arc. He really lit it up.

We lost Norton several times. He killed us from the corner, right where we knew he would be. It was poor communication and poor recognition on our part. With all three big guys on the bench with four fouls, we didn't have all our parts. Not having an inside presence really hurts.

We made some defensive stands when we really needed them.

I thought those guys came in and did a great job moving on offense. It didn't signal that we were packing it in. I was just showing them (the starters) how I wanted movement. I let them sit down and watch and see how those guys were moving.

I thought on defense we were flat out getting beat one on one and in the zone. Offensively we were very stagnant. When someone had the ball the rest were just standing and watching. It wasn't just one guy it was a team effort, so to speak, tonight.

Our kids didn't give up. I'm so proud of our seniors, they did a great job.

Overall I can't fault the kids' effort. We played hard. Our goal was to play Friday. We wanted to play Friday night, but we did get to play all three days. There was great fan support. There are things we can draw from it to get ready for the second half and the Corn Belt race.
