Andy Palmer Kids Quotations

We told the kids at the beginning of the year that our main goal was to win more games than we did last year.

We were able to get a couple of lay-ups when we spread the floor and I thought the 3-point basket by Palm was a huge one. The kids have worked hard for this.

We have good balance, and we have had seven or eight kids lead us in scoring, which has been another key for us. We seem to be playing well together right now.

We knew it would be a tough, physical basketball game and playing Central on its home floor would be a tough chore. We just kept telling the kids to stay calm and composed. Once we got the lead we were able to spread the floor and make them foul us. We didn't make a lot of free throws, but we made enough.

It kind of feels like a huge weight off of you. It seems like for whatever reason, they've always have our number and it's been a long time since we've beaten them. I thought our kids came out and did a great job tonight and did the things necessary to come out with a win and keep our conference hopes alive. That's what we were after.
