Jim Haley Quotations

I credit Shores, it's a big win for them. Every school that plays us in the county comes after us. We're the measuring stick. If you can play with Vanguard, then you've got a good team.

He is a true competitor who wants to win and leaves everything on the court both offensively and defensively. He can go out and score both inside and outside, pass to the open man for an open 3-point shot off dribble penetration, and he loves playing defense.

We make the decision not based on who is playing or where they are, but what is best for everybody. We just didn't feel like it was going to be fair.

We played the way we're supposed to play on the defensive end. They're much bigger than us. Conant is bigger than us too.

We hadn't played well here in our last game and Littleton came in with a 7-2 record.

We've been working on our foul shooting and our foul shooting was right on. That was a big key.

We're the only lower seed to move on. We're going to play defense and go at Conant. We have nothing to lose.

The third quarter is when we started to move. We needed to play and be competitive.

Teams from outside counties can't cater to our (scheduling) needs. It would be a scheduling nightmare.

Some players that didn't tee off yet were going to come tomorrow and play in sunshine while half the field is playing in this muck. We just didn't feel like that was fair to the field.

There were bees in the bush and she didn't want to get stung. I can't say she would have or she wouldn't have. Some people get a nervous reaction. There were a number of bees.

It was conclusive after we used the string. There was nothing they could say.

It's always going to be intense, sometimes it's going to be ugly. It was a hard-fought win. They took us all the way down to the buzzer.

Don's a competitor, and Don's a team player. He took over in the fourth quarter.

Student athletes have to be doing their job (in the classroom) to be able to play. They come to school to learn and participate in extra-curricular activities.

It was a defensive battle throughout. (Columbia) just got the hot hand. We're real proud of our seniors and what they accomplished this year.

It was a dangerous situation, just as it would have been if there had been a rattlesnake in the bush. She told me she was allergic to bees. What am I going to say if she tells me that?

The loss was a disappointment. But we did not play well.
