What a great high school basketball game. You've got over 3,000 people here, you have the two Northwest District Players of the Year, what more could you ask for?
defense focusing great nights played sat shoot week worked
We worked all week focusing on half-court defense and rebounding because you're going to have nights where you don't shoot well. It was a great week of practice. We sat down and played defense.

When we were down nine on Thursday night, we knew Brandon would be able to play Saturday, so we said, let's try to (win this) so he can play another game. That was motivational.

We don't have guys go to college to play ball. We have good athletes who buy into what we're doing and play hard. You have a couple good players and a bunch of guys that accept their roles, you can have a pretty good team every year.

We made some adjustments the second half and went man-to-man and not much zone.

We were playing for No. 30 tonight. That was our motivation. He's a three-year starter and he's been denied half his senior year.
deeper difference speed
When you look at Mansfield Senior, they're deeper than we are. The difference is we are a little bigger. They sub speed for speed.
backs basketball careless district final follow game good hope job kids learn level next nice playing points score step surviving target team time winning
We got a little careless there at the end. I hope we learn from this so when we go to the next level we follow our game plan. I thought our kids did a nice job of making adjustments and rebounding. That's a good team we played. We're playing some pretty good basketball right now. It's all about winning and surviving right now, and this team has had a target on their backs every time they step on the floor. When you score 101 points in a district final -- that's pretty good.
arises backside ball catch foul guard guys knock learn needed proud reed screen seconds shoot situation step stepped trying wild
We had a foul to give and we were trying to knock the ball away and get under two seconds to make them take a wild shot. I thought if the lob to Reed wasn't there, their guard would step out on a backside screen and catch it and shoot it. Hopefully, we can learn from that when the situation arises again. But guys stepped it up when we needed to, and I'm very proud of them.
along good players role
We've had some good players, but we've had a lot of good role players to go along with them.

We've had him on a stationary bike and he's been shooting around, but he hasn't been practicing with us.

There have been a lot of great coaches and players come through the program and I'm proud to have been a part of the 1,000th win. To be one of the 30 or 40 programs in the state to have 1,000 wins is a great honor.
