You don't run into athletes like him very often. He just refused to lose. But what I liked best about him what his character. He is a real down-to-earth kid.
Success breeds success, and that is why this school is so successful. Like I said before, I stepped into a great situation. I feel honored and privileged to be here teaching and coaching.
We went cold. I thought the effort was there. We didn't panic at half, we just had to keep at it and hope we could turn things around.
We just had some seniors take over the game. They absolutely refused to lose. I'm so proud of them.
When you play the style we play, you're going to have some turnovers. But we had some uncharacteristic mistakes tonight. We need to get control of that. But I liked the way we clawed back into it. It's something we can learn from. If we don't learn from it, then we're not as good a basketball team as I think we are.
We had way too many turnovers in that second quarter and we shot poorly from the free-throw line and it kind of snowballed on us.
I thought the kids really came out focused and determined. I was really proud of them.
