Rob Patek Quotations

Right now it doesn't mean a whole lot because we lost (at state). But when I look back on it, it'll be nice. Right now I'm not thinking too much about the records.

If we can slow it down and make it a half-court game and not get frustrated with their press, I think we have a very good chance of winning.

Playing in our conference gets you ready for this time of year.

I think definitely he was preoccupied with his brother's condition and I think he can enjoy it more this year.

It did feel kind of good to get down there and prove to people that West isn't the only team in town that can play some ball.

We put in a lot of hard work and it's exciting to have it pay off. A lot of seniors put in a lot of work and don't get the chance to go down to state even once. For us to go twice is so special.

We hang out a lot on weekends. It's not one of those teams where you have a group of friends outside. Here your friends are the team. Even though basketball is done, I'm still going to hang out with them. It's pretty cool.

We have great outside shooters and they really stepped it up for us against that zone and got us a good lead. (Going to state) it's unbelievable. I can't put it into words.

I've been playing basketball for a lot of years and this is the most special one. Our team just cared so much for each other and that helped make it special.

They are a very up-tempo team. They like to press. They are a little bit smaller than the teams we usually play, so they have to spread it out on the perimeter and shoot the 3 and get up and down the court.
