Greg Waits Quotations

Shutting them out on the first quarter was big. That set the tone for the rest of the game.

No, I don't think we're playing extremely well. But we always want to be playing our best basketball toward the end of the season and we're playing pretty well, but we still have not played our best game yet and we still have that to look forward to.

Next year, nothing is going to be acceptable unless you make it to the (district) final again and win it. These kids have been here now.

Central is extremely athletic and can beat anybody any night. All we want to do is improve in everything we do from offensively and defensively and our goal is to get a little better every day.

If some of those easy ones go in early, it could have been a different game. But the bottom line is they out-hustled us and outplayed us tonight. They were better than us.

He was the heart and soul of our program the last two years. He started as a sophomore, but he was young then. The last two years, everything surrounded him on offense and defense. He stepped up to that challenge and put us on his back during that period and got Grove City back on the map in basketball.

I think a shot clock would be good for the game. For the up-tempo style we like to play, it wouldn't matter.

We were 6-for-12 at halftime from the free-throw line. In a game where there are 74 free throws, you've got to make yours to win.

We have a great group of kids. Our five seniors have done a great job these four years. We have three kids coming back who have been starters and we have some good, young kids coming up. So the future is bright and we're looking forward to the season already.

We're really proud. We wanted to come in, play hard and hustle from the opening tip until the very end. I thought our kids never quit. We cut it to 10 (in the fourth quarter). That's a couple of possessions. You never know what could happen in a close game. Our kids battled to the end.

This was like a championship atmosphere. This place was packed on a Tuesday night, we never see that. It was senior night for them and this was their opportunity to beat the top dog and they did. I give them all the credit in the world.

They're 6-10, 6-6 and 6-6. The two 6-6 kids play like they're 6-10 because they can jump out of the gym and they're quick and very athletic. That's a good team, man.

They're a very big team. It's a good, solid team and we've got our work cut out for us. We're looking forward to going up there and playing.

It was low scoring early and that was a good thing. We wanted to keep the score down. We knew we had to. We just didn't handle it really well at the beginning.

Nothing we can do will surprise them. There's nothing they can do that will surprise us. Lancaster has seen all kinds of teams. We're not any kind of team they haven't seen. They played a bunch of difficult teams and played a tough schedule. They've seen it all from bad to good.

Clark is shooting the ball extremely well the last couple of weeks. With him doing that, it'll draw the other big man out on him and that's opening things up a little more for (Price) inside.
