Our kids learned a good lesson about the game of basketball tonight. Basketball is all about momentum. We had it for most of the first half and then we let it go and West took it from us. We let them get back into the game.

We played good defense in the final quarter and we made our foul shots. Those two things win basketball games at the end. It worked well for us tonight.

We played solid basketball for about 28 or 29 minutes on Friday. I felt as though we've been a tired team, but on Friday, I think we're showing signs of coming out of it.

We played very good basketball on the defensive end and that's a credit to our kids. But we struggled on the offensive end. We've lost our offensive efficiency since the Christmas break.

This was probably the first time in quite a few years that we came into a varsity basketball game in the Classic 8 Conference as the favorite. The kids knew that, too. I thought we handled that situation very well. We haven't been in that position in a long, long time.
