Mark Capasso Quotations

We stuck to the basics. They have really good chemistry on the court and were able to put together a great run and get a little breathing room.

He's a gifted athlete. But the intangible things come easy to him, like his poise and responding well to pressure situations.

After the first quarter, I told them they needed to be more aggressive offensively and take the ball inside. Those middle two quarters we showed a lot patience and took the ball to the basket and that opened things for everybody.

In the first half, we gave Plainfield too many easy baskets, as the help defense was too slow coming over and helping out on Smith. Smith's a very good player and moves around to get open. We did a much better job in the second half of containing Smith.

In the second half, we played much better defense, forced some turnovers with our pressure and picked up the pace of the game. In the first half, we played the game at Plainfield's pace.

He's worked each year to add something to his repertory. He has medium-range shooting, and can take the ball to the basket.

All the kids and I are a little surprised because it happened in a hurry. All of a sudden we had to get ready for the game. At that moment it was a little shocking.
