Doug Scheidt Quotations

We thought we could pressure them and we think we are capable of taking away penetration. I thought in the third quarter we did the job.

I respect Garth a ton, and I know that he does a great job with those guys. Every time that we play them, I am very concerned. Sometimes the score doesn't tell the tale. Tonight we got a little bit of a jump on them early and we built a lead, but the first two games were closer.

Park did a great job. They came out really ready to play and I thought coach (Josh Wolf) did a really good job of having them just enough fired up, but just enough under control and calm. I thought they exhibited that in the game, and we didn't.

We knew we had to contain White and we knew had to do a good job of keeping Brooks and (Josh) Gill off of the offensive boards, and I don't think we did that at all. I thought we did that well in our game at home. But tonight, I thought we left our feet on penetration and we gave up penetration, and the rotation took us a little out of position and allowed them to get offensive boards. It was a frustrating situation because we didn't adjust to it.

We've really grown together this season. There's been some rough spots but we've pulled through and now we're playing for a championship.

At first I thought there was some tension between us with the new guy coming in, but they've done a great job adjusting to my system, working with me and embracing me. I really love these guys and I'm sorry we ended this way, but they're great young men.

It's likely that by the end of the year, the staff will recommend to the commission that the commission propose changes.

Each overtime, we had the ball in the closing seconds, so we had plenty of chances. It was so crazy. I almost had a heart attack.

I'm real proud of my guys. I know they wanted to come away with the win, but they played hard and they really worked hard to get here this season. It's the first team in a while that's done that at our school and I think the seniors deserve a ton of credit.
