Rick Howard Quotations

No one showed leadership, responsibility or accountability for us on the floor.

Nobody knew it was coming. There was no security intervention or mitigation for it.

Give Johnson credit, they took it to us. They knocked us back on our heels and defended well.

Survive and move on. that's what they tell when you get to the playoffs. That's what we did (Friday). Hart County played hard and fought the entire game.

We came out cold, and they were lights out. We just got a good old-fashioned butt-whipping.

We adjusted on the fly. They started with just one forward up top and five players in defense, but then they came out in the second half with (two forwards). But we quickly adjusted to that.

We need to be more consistent. We play good for 10-15 minutes, then we play poorly for 10-15 minutes.

(At the half) I didn't even have to say anything. They just talked about what had happened and took responsibility. This shows just how much they care about playing and how bad they want to succeed.

Flowery Branch played hard. But we can't lose our grip like that on the game.

It should be a fun final week. We all need a little help from someone.

After the North Hall game (a 1-0 loss on Friday), I decided we need to change some things, and I challenged them to play better.

I like to call it getting happy. Once you 'get happy,' there's not a lot the other team can do. She was really feeling it, and that's almost impossible to defend.
