Craig Swartout Quotations

This was not a 2-15 team we played tonight. We were able to handle them being physical because we have some big guys, but give (Central) credit, they'll win some games before the season's over.

I think we left on a pretty good note. I was a little concerned about how we would go into the break, but we played really well. The guys are anxious to get going again.

We've come a long way. I don't want to sound braggadocio, but the team has matured so much since then.

We just needed to start looking to shoot the ball more. We're a good shooting team, and we do a lot better when we bring that energy and confidence to the court.

Sometimes, because they're young, they don't harness their emotions like they're supposed to and it can hurt them. And we try to let them know that it can hurt the team, too.

The most quiet 20 points I've ever seen.

That's why A.B. is the best basketball player in this part of the state. In the first half, he wanted to get everyone else into the flow, and we were a little stagnant.

Their records don't tell the story at all. Our pitching is the strongest part of our game.

I gave the girls Monday and Tuesday off.

He's tenacious. When he decides to take control of the boards, it's over.

He's pretty deadly from the free-throw line. It's almost automatic.

A month ago we would've laid down in that spot. We've matured so much. When I looked into their eyes I knew we were going to win.
