Marty DeJarnette Quotations

We started cold, but we found our rhythm in the second quarter. Their size caused us some problems, but our press got us some easy baskets off turnovers.

We're going to try and pick up (the defensive intensity) and see how they handle it. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, but that's what we do.

When we fell down I knew it was going to take a lot of energy for us to comeback against a great team like that. We came up a little short in the fourth quarter and that's what I feared.

We've got to wipe this out. Hopefully we'll play well for four quarters and not two. We'll try to comeback Monday ready to go.

I want you to stick to him like grandma's Thanksgiving dressing on Christmas day.

Our guys seem pretty loose and confident. I hope we go up there and play well.

Maybe that could be a good omen for us. We're going to go up there to try and play our game. We'll see what happens.

We needed a win to get us going again. Our defense was good enough to carry us tonight.

We were trying to use our quickness against their size. We were able to get a lot of easy baskets and that was the key tonight.

We've just to have to work on balancing it out with the teams that aren't in the Top 10. These guys show up for big games, but we've got to show up regardless of who our opponent is.

We've gone up against bigger teams all year long and we've held our own. We've just got to battle through one more night of it.

Tonight we saw our entire school come together. Our kids showed a lot of character, and you know it is tough with what we have been through in the last week.

Those two guys pose some problems. You could tell that they're hard to match up with.

We just really played a good game. I'm proud of our guys for responding to the challenge.

This group has kind of exceeded expectations all year long. It's just kind of weird to be back in this position again. I'm just happy for these guys because they've been through a lot.

They're a two-headed monster there. They're hard to defend when you don't have the size to match them.

They're a little more resilient than I am. I'm still kind of hurting a little bit, but I think we've learned from it.

It was good for all of us to get back together, and we played well. We knew we would struggle some early after being off for more than a week, but our guys played with emotion and passion.

I'm proud of my guys for battling. They came out of the locker room in the second half and actually thought they could win the game. To even tie the game at the end of the quarter was a big accomplishment I wished we could have finished it off.

The closeness our students have helped us to pick each other up. It's more than just basketball, but everyone has been there to help out.
