Quotes by Dave Nutting
The mindset with our guys is that we have to win every game from here on out to get the highest possible seed in section playoffs that we can. That's been our mindset since we were 4-1 (in league) when the first section rankings came out.
It was just one of those things, we were short-handed and had injured players and it showed. We are still in the playoffs and still the league champion.
I've got to hand it to Franklin. They came out with a great game plan. We're just lucky to come out of here with a win. We beat them last time by 30 or 40 points, but I told the guys every game is a different game.
It's been a two-year journey, and it's like, 'Wow! The ride over the last two years is something you have to take a deep breath. They have achieved so much in the last two years. We have defied the odds and the predictions. I still don't think I have digested it.
I told the guys they had to come out on (Franklin). They can hit four or five 3-pointers in a row. We had to put a hand out on their 3-point shooters.
It was up for grabs, it was back and forth. We got up four, then they got up by one, and they were just able to pull away.
We've got a big bull's-eye on our shirts. Everyone is trying to knock off No. 1. They've (Franklin) got nothing to lose, so they're going to play as hard as they can. Bear Creek played really big for three quarters (last week against us), and that's as tough as I've seen them play.
