Jeff Morrow Quotations

We're excited to win, but we're not satisfied. I think our experience last year is invaluable right now.

Oh, wow. All you can say is, 'Wow.' It was like a circus, but a fun circus to watch.

We took control early, but we maintained control against a very good team. and that's what excites me.

He just alters things. He's right at 10 rebounds a game (with 12.1 points), so he's right at a double-double. He's got long arms. His size and his presence just make things difficult.

I thought we attacked the glass hard in the second half, and that was the difference. We relaxed a little bit (after Beckham went to the bench with four fouls and Ballard trailing 49-31). We made a few mistakes, but every time we made up for those mistakes.

We know teams will make a run but it doesn't phase us. Nothing phases them.

What was amazing to me is that when we started the overtimes, both teams just started making play after play.

Every time we did something wrong, we made up for it. Doss is a very good team, and they forced us into some mistakes. But before anybody could get back down the floor we were doing something good to get it back.

It was unfortunate and it does make it a little more difficult but, in a situation like this, you just have to go with it. The coaches have a little bit more work to do in a shorter window, but as far as the kids go, they'll be fine.

It was a long weekend, and maybe there was a little mental fatigue. But these guys have been through it before. At times we played really well, and then we would relax.

Coaching is an emotional thing, but I don't think I've ever been around guys that are any tougher than these guys.

They punched us right in the mouth early, and we never responded. Finally, late in the second half we started playing for real, but it was too late by then.

I told our kids good things come to those who wait. We waited more than two days. We waited a whole year for this.

I told them in the third overtime that we were already making history, so let's make sure we come out on top.

It's unbelievable, and I don't think it's sunk in yet. It's hard to put into words. It's just amazing. These guys responded to everything.

It's unfair to the kids on both sides. You have 16 kids in both locker rooms that this affects. I don't know what you tell them. It's just a sad situation.

It's unfair to the kids on both sides.

They beat us in every statistic possible in the first half, and we were only down three. We showed an incredible amount of toughness in the second half. I couldn't be more proud of these guys.

You could watch 500 high school games and not see that. It makes up for not being in the same district for 10 years.

The Eastern game was such an emotional one that to come out of it and come over to play at Ballard in the next game is tough. I'm proud of these kids. They just let it roll off their shoulder, play hard and get the win.

The first time here for these guys, it was an adjustment at first. We felt our way around awhile, but I never felt we were not in control. We looked really good at times, and it's just huge to get to move on.
