Joe Lafko Quotations

We're really excited. This is new territory in Hampton basketball history.

I can't say enough about this team's heart and resiliency to keep overcoming adversity. They have that one intangible that wins basketball games.

He's battled through this injury. He'd be averaging more points and minutes if not for this injury.

Our team has a lot of athletes that can make plays. We scored a lot of points in transition off steals. I was really proud of our defensive effort. This team has taken pride in holding teams down defensively.

I think our team is gaining more and more confidence with every win, particularly playoff wins. I think that confidence is evident in how they play.

I was proud of the way we played and came back when we had an injury and foul trouble.

When Bartley was able to get to the basket and draw fouls on Childs, they didn't have anybody to defend Bob and (Mike) Bittner inside. That opened up the game for us.

We had the ball in the hands of the guy we wanted to take the last shot. We had a couple of chances at the end. All you can ask for is to have a shot to win down the stretch.

Brian is definitely the leader. He's dedicated himself to being a better basketball player. He works hard all year and plays AAU in the summer to develop his game.
