He's got a lot of heart. That was on display tonight.

It's always important to get off to a great start. This is a Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh-type atmosphere on the high school level.

They're the best team we've played at both ends of the floor.

We have enough talent to win it, no doubt about it. I still think we can break through.

We turned the ball over and didn't rebound. That's not a good combination. But give Strongsville credit. They played well. They're a good team and they're well coached.

We watched the film of the Strongsville game this afternoon, and we were all surprised how many turnovers we had. We take a lot of pride in taking care of the basketball, which is why that was so disappointing. It was a different story tonight, though.

When you hit free throws in the fourth quarter you have a good chance at winning.

We weren't able to stop their penetration. We couldn't keep them in front and they made good decisions.

We'll find out what we're made of now. This thing is a long way from over.

Kyle and Joe gave us nice production at both ends of the floor, which is big when you get it off your bench. If they can continue to give us minutes like they have been, we're going to be tough to match up against.
