Johnny May Quotations

We didn't have a true leader in the sense of the term.

We just didn't defend tonight. We had to fight ... to get back in it once they got a lead, and we played like we were tired.

After they beat us in the regional championship, we wanted one more chance to play them. We knew the opportunity was there for us, we needed to take advantage of it.

Getting to the state tournament has always been tough. Being there for the third year in a row is a testament to our kids in the program -- they've all worked hard to get there.

We talk a lot about composure. We didn't panic and that makes a big difference in these kind of games.

The third was a bad quarter for us. We dug ourselves a hole. We cut it to three and that's how we play. We made runs and they made runs. Theirs were just a little bigger than ours.

They changed their defenses in the last quarter and we got a little out of sync. Williams' breakaway basket and Will's free throws saved us.

The turning point was that stretch in the final quarter where they had those three put-backs. We got a little tired and could never get back any momentum after that.

We changed our schedule some this year, played northern schools during the regular season. It helped a lot ... playing those schools we wouldn't normally see until the state tournament.

That's part of the game. You give yourself enough chances, one of these days we'll get one.
