Marty Manfredo Kids Quotations

Defensively, I had no complaints all year. Offensively, our skills were not as good as you would want. We'll work on that this summer. But defensively, the kids played well all year. We do have trouble putting the ball in the basket sometimes.

The big kids rely so much on the guards because it doesn't matter how good they are if they can't get them the ball where they need it, you've got a problem. Hopefully down the road they can contribute. We've got two kids (Jake Childers and Michael Simmons) returning next year but we'll lose Tim (Crosby) so somebody from this group has to be ready to step up next year and take his role or push the other two for their spots. You can never have enough depth, especially inside.

The whole tournament, the kids improved each game. They improved their skills and made free throws. Winning this trophy means a lot.

If you want to play these are the kinds of things you do. Fortunately I've got a good group of kids who want to learn and are willing to put forth the effort. Hopefully it will pay off for them and the program in the long run.
