Joe Dix Quotations

I thought both guys did a great job of stepping up when the team needed them. You couldn't have asked any more of them.

We will definitely earn it this year, not that we didn't in the past. But with this team and some of the teams left we could face, they could put their stamp on things as far as East Hall basketball history goes if they can win it all.

We had a nice run (with the streak) but it's not the main thing. That's for the fans to enjoy. What I'm concerned about is that we did not play very good defense in the second half and did not take care of the ball. Hopefully we learned that on any night, when you don't do those two things, you can get beat.

He's a great kid. He's sacrificed a lot for our program, and is only going to get better as a player.

I also thought Walter was much more aggressive than the last few games and showed the things he can do.

Our intensity on defense was much, much better. I thought we responded well as a team after the loss. Plus, it's always nice to have Lee (Coleman) back in the lineup.

That game pushed their interest in Walter to another level.

I think everyone saw (tonight) just how important Lee is to this team. We had guys handling the ball at certain times that aren't accustomed to that. We made a lot mistakes in the second half and Whitefield took advantage of it. You have to give them credit.

They've been looking at him for a couple of years and I think where they want to play him will be good for him and them. I think it's a tremendous opportunity for him.

The difference in the game was Thomasville's ability to finish and our inability to finish.
