12 Quotes by Todd Hanson

I give Mt. Ararat a lot of credit. They came in and took us out of our game. They made it difficult for us.

I think it's careful planning and a lot of passion for what we do. It really is a client-focused business.

We have been waiting to get back to the regional finals for three years. Jordan Cook (6-10 Hampden Academy center) is a game changer and changes teams with his defense and is pretty smooth offensively as well.

Whatever we tried to do defensively, they had a counter. We allowed them to penetrate and once they did, good things happened for them and bad things happened for us. Hampden punished us on the boards.

We tried to take Cook away, and Silver stepped in and really filled the void and made us change what we were doing. We had to almost man-up Jordan, and when you man up someone who is 6-10 and a Mr. Basketball finalist, he's going to score 26 points, which is what he did.

We tried to run a spread offense and our guys interpreted it as more of we didn't want to shoot, which wasn't the case. We had that last timeout and we told the kids to do what they do. They started attacking and our seniors stepped up and it worked out.

They've carried that experience over and they've been really good leaders. It's huge in a new environment like this and a tournament setting. I think it really paid dividends.

There isn't any time for us to hang our heads.

That's something we've worked on extensively in the past couple of days.
