Jon Brown Quotations

I have mixed emotions. We battled for three quarters but they made a little run in the fourth and we got frustrated.

I feel like I have only done two-thirds of the training needed and I know this isn't enough for London.

He'll have to stay with me until then,

He's a very talented athlete although he might have left switching to the marathon a little late in his career. But I'm ready for the challenge.

Last weekend took more out of me than I expected and physically I feel run down after a difficult week in the UK,

We just didn't have shots or free throws fall for us at the right time. Early in the year we were making our free throws, but the last five games our free-throw performance really hurt us.

We wore down in the fourth quarter with Harrisburg's size and strength. We're down by three and they go on a 10-point run and our shots are all coming up short.

We had a chance to put them away at the free-throw line and missed our chances. It could have given us some breathing room.

We were down one with 29 seconds left and missed the front end of a one-and-one. They pulled away from there.

We didn't know what the gap was until we reached the hut. We were about six minutes ahead. I was wasted at that point, but Brian pulled me through. I didn't have anything left. If it weren't for him, we probably would still be out there.

The thing about it was, I was just playing and did what coach Martin coaches. He really stresses throwing the unders, throw the wide routes. And that's really what I did was just throw completions.

It was a great team effort. We had some different kids step up and I can't say enough about how good our team defense was all night.

In light of my upcoming marathon I feel I need more time to recover and prepare without further interruption for my primary event.

I know that as soon as Mike's ready to play he's going to be back on the field. He's a great quarterback, and when I'm asked to play, I'll do the best I can.
