Joe Johnson Quotations

If all municipalities don't buy into this and pay their share, they're pretty much done.

When you're going down the stretch like that, every play is valuable when you're coming back. We had turnovers, which took the spirit out of us.

We handled them for 3 1/2 quarters. They had guys like Derek Anderson who made the difference.

You got to adjust to it, that's all.

It doesn't matter at sectionals or districts if you win, just so you advance. At state, everyone is good and you have to be prepared for each match. Last year I won districts but I was so nervous. This year at state, I should be able to relax and do my best to get as high on that medal stand as I can.

I think he'll be better this year. He's faster. He'll be a target, but we'll throw the ball better this year.

I never had a situation where Jim said, 'This is who you've got to hire, who you've got to fire, what you've got to pay or else,'

Going into the California game, I told the kids the playoff started now. Our next loss was going to be the end of our season, so we had that sense of urgency. I guess we saved our best basketball for the end.
