Dave Butcher Playing Quotations

The 3-point shooting didn't surprise us. We knew that was their strength last year and this year. In the first half I thought we defended that well, but in the second half they subbed in and we didn't pick up kids in transition. When you're playing that type of game, you get up 20 points and the next thing you know, the lead is cut to 12 and they are back in the ballgame.

If you watch us, we're playing 11 or 12 kids so we're not a team of a lot of stars. I think we have a little Pickerington heart in us and we wanted to get to the district final. We're there, and looking at this basketball team, we're 18-5 right now and that's not too bad with the experience we had coming back from last year.

Our whole team's different so I'm just glad we've gotten this far. It's been an interesting year. At one time, I think, we were 7-4, and now we're sitting here at 18-5 so we've been playing some pretty good basketball the last two months.
