We knew they were coming out for us. Especially after what happened last year.
We're gonna go all the way. We're finally in sync. We're finally rolling. It's our time.
We're shooting for third place now. Hopefully, we can have our best game of the season.
For us to win a league championship, we knew we were gonna have to come in this gym and take it.
Our school has never done anything like this. We've established something to be proud of at Auburn Riverside.
Wilber's out and everybody is down. My job as the team captain is to come out and step up. I've been in a major slump, it's nice to come out and have the ball fall for me.
We have a little bit of revenge that we want. It's going to be a tough game. I think everybody's looking forward to that game.
We came out really, really strong in the first two quarters. But then, I don't know, we just kind of got laid-back in the third quarter and our defense started to fall apart.
We kind of got lackadaisical. I'm pretty disappointed with the way we finished that game. That's not going to cut it if we want to win the state championship.
We've been on the losing end too many times in close games this year. Now things are going our way.
This one hurts. I wanted to be the one to take the team to their first state title. And it didn't happen. I didn't come through for my team.
It was totally surprising. I wasn't expecting to win. This is an honor. I work hard at what I do, and it's nice to have a payoff like this at the end of the year.
This gives us motivation for the next game.
They ended up hitting some shots down the stretch unlike the first half. The third quarter, we didn't score for the first three minutes.
It's a fun game to play in, but losing stinks.
It's my job as the captain and team leader to create shots when we need them. I honestly was looking to shoot. I knew what I wanted to do. It was just a matter of executing it.
I didn't see the clock. But I knew I had to do something. ... She was waiting there for me. All I saw was her long arms. It's a tough loss, but we definitely feel we can hang with anybody.
For the past two years, this team has been my life. They're part of my family. It's hard to have to step aside.
