29 Quotes by Luis Carmona

Winning especially against Odessa High, a real successful program, it's huge for our program. It's a pretty good statement for the district that we're here.

We didn't show up and they came out to perform like the No. 1 team in the district that they are. I guess that's a bad combination, coming out and not playing and having the best team in district come into town.

We're trying to get the ball rolling at the same time. That's the No. 1 concern. I want all 11 players to be on the same page. Right now it's four on one page and another four on another.

We can't rush into things, and the guys don't need to put any extra pressure on themselves, either. They just need to relax, and 8 o'clock Friday night will come by itself. The No. 1 thing is they need to have confidence in what we're trying to do and establish (with the program).

We're young and there's only one thing to get out of this and that's experience. We came out flat in the first half and being two down, that's tough against any team, especially at the playoff level.

The only thing we're worried about now is each game we play. We can't be worried about the standings or anything. We know that if we play confident, we're tough to beat. We can compete with anybody.

This was by far the biggest win in district for us because it's do or die right now.

What I've been trying to tell the guys all this week is they're here now and this is when you've got to perform. I was watching TV and saw a quote from the George Mason (basketball coach). He said it's not just about getting in the dance. It's about performing there, and you've got to win.

This one is a huge monkey off our back, competing against a district rival and getting a win. And then just getting a win in general in a very tough district we're back in the race.
