Randy McAllister Quotations

We've gone in as a No. 3 and a No. 4 since I started coaching here. It's nice to be the higher seed, but I think that's a bit neutralized because we're in the 5A tourney. I think a 5A No. 4 seed might be like a 4A No. 2 seed. We'll be playing deeper teams, bigger teams.

I don't know if I've ever been around a kid who is so explosive and so quick. And he's just fearless on the court.

We didn't make huge adjustments. We talked about going up stronger with the ball, and our kids did a good job blocking the passing lanes.

I don't know why and I don't know how, but when the chips are on the table they take care of business.

It's huge. Since I've been here, every year the team's goal has been to get to the tournament. This year's team had a goal to win the region championship. They were the first ones that had the confidence to make that a goal.

He has a work ethic that I've never seen in a kid his age. When he works out, he really works out.

He's a very intelligent defender who really understands the concept of team defense.

Thurgood was amazing. He came up huge when it counted. We have two freshmen out there paying the price in pressure situations. It's going to pay big dividends in the future.

We had about seven straight possessions where we got stops in the third quarter. We really stepped up our defense tonight. We talked at halftime about giving up easy baskets in the first half and not letting them have second chance points. I think half their points were in transition off turnovers.

He's made about 20 3-pointers this season so he's very capable. That was a huge shot for us.
