Ron Massey Quotations

Momentum definitely took a turn there in the second half. Sean made a big play for us on the kickoff return. We've got middle wedge set up and he just busted outside. That's why we've got him back there - he's got a little bit of speed.

Our kids have finished games. They've played hard, they've bounced back. They've done a good job, but I've got to figure out a way to get us more ready to come out in the first quarter.

We can't continue to let teams take the ball and drive it 78 yards down the field and score on the first series and then us go three-and-out on offense and give up field position right away again. Sooner or later it's going to come back to bite us in the rear end.

We wanted to establish ourselves early physically, and I thought we did that. Our defense kept 'em pinned up, so we had great field position all night.

We were finally able to hit some shots. We rebounded well in the first half, but we couldn't shoot. But early in the second half the ball started falling in.

Our defense has played fairly well. In the Robinson game, we gave up some yards, but that's a little misleading. We were able to keep them out of the end zone, and that is what is most important statistically.

Athletics means more than just winning games. We want our players be productive in society and to gain a sense of the things that are going on in the world today.

They're very well-coached defensively about squeezing and playing their position. We just felt like we wanted to run a little bit more quick game at them. Sean read it well and did a great job doing that.

They put some people in the box trying to stop our run, but I thought we did a good job staying on blocks. The backs did a good job finding the hole.

It wasn't a pretty win, but we'll take it. They kept coming at us, but we were able to make some free throws down the stretch and get the victory.

I'm frustrated that we didn't play that good. But I'm happy for our kids because they could have folded when we lost that 15-point lead.

All three teams are competitive and any one could win and advance to the next level.
