"
All of them wanted us to come inside and we spread the floor. Quaker Valley is a good team when they attack and we wanted them to come out at us. That is why we got outside with some open shots.
"
Not too many people know about us. But we like being the underdogs. We're like the Steelers. We're the sixth seed, but we're beating (higher-seeded) teams.
"
That's something we try all year. We have the size underneath and we try to take advantage of it. Brentwood did a really nice job of making us shoot from the outside. They controlled the tempo - they didn't play and up and down game. They actually slowed the game down. They were smart. They kept it a low-scoring game.
"
There was no way they should've gotten those offensive boards. They just wanted it more - what concerned me about that was the character of our team needs to come through in situations like that. We did much better job in the second half.
"
They said man-to-man. They were up to the challenge.
"
That's how we play. We use a very deliberate style. Jeannette likes to run up and down the floor. I don't think they've seen a team like us this year.
"
Antonio was going to the middle and he did a great job on the boards. He is 6-foot-6 and so athletic. They were letting our guys shoot outside and I needed him to take the ball to the hole. He hit some big 3-point shots and took the ball inside to draw a lot of fouls.
"
Some teams have gone zone, some teams have gone box-and-one or diamond-and-one but we have a very well-rounded team. You can't stop two or three players on our team. You have to stop all five.
"
There's no contrast in styles this game. It will be who plays their style of game better. We've played against up-tempo, athletic teams that were tall and short all the way up to the this point. Now, we're playing a team that's exactly like us, almost a mirror image. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how this goes.
"
Boy, did he come through in the second half. He's that missing piece of the puzzle we didn't have last year. If people think we don't have anything but Antonio, they're definitely missing the boat.
