We've started well this year in big games. It got our fans into it and got our kids going early.

(Franklin) is an outstanding club, but we think we're pretty good too.

We've got to move on soon, because we've got a big league game here on Tuesday.

Mark is the ultimate gym rat. He plays a lot of basketball. And he's just fearless on the floor. He's not afraid to go up against anyone. And he's done a great job for us.

We have one starter back from last year, but a number of our kids got experience in the state tournament. That really helps.

Today's game give credit to Jackson, that was two tired basketball teams. We played as hard as we could play.

We got tired. We played at a very high pace and then we started going too frantic. We're good at playing fast, but we got winded and started turning the ball over.

We left here last year, and we knew we had four starters gone. Those kids really stepped up. They're so fun to be around regardless of the wins and losses.

We had a double-overtime win against Garfield earlier this week. We're used to playing at a fast pace. Franklin got us with all those turnovers, but this was one game in January.

Credit to Jackson -- those were two tired basketball teams. We've never missed that many shots before, and we played as hard as we could.

They stretched into a 3-2 zone (defense) and they got to our shooters. The problem we had was guarding them early, big guy to big guy.

They got some things out of it. They are pretty crafty with it.

It's the type of game that gets you playoff ready, win or lose. I was happy to see the poise of the kids.

It means a lot to the kids. They know what it's about.

At times, I thought they were the best team we've played against the last two years.

I'm really excited these kids (have rebounded) from Wednesday.

Ike's been a leader. He's just been so consistent. He's just a bulldog, finds ways to get it done. He's very talented and a very hard worker.

I'm just hoping he will get some more looks from colleges. He's slipping through the cracks when he doesn't need to be.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world. These kids are so much fun to be around.

He's the only returning starter and the team is back to state with the same record as a year ago. A lot of it is a credit to Ike and the other kids. He does a good job keeping us focused. His will to win is what leads the kids.
