Stacy Bilodeau Quotations

Three years at the buzzer, they all did a great job. That Needham team, oh my God, they are awesome. I love watching them play, I really do. It's a shame that one of us had to lose.

I think it says a lot about the six seniors that they were able to accomplish that in a great league like ours.

We just had our league meeting and it's amazing all the talent that is in this league, it's kind of crazy. There are a lot of great players. We lost a couple early and hopefully we learned from it.

We got right out and were running well, getting good looks and getting stops on the other end.

At this point, a win is a win and everybody is healthy. We really didn't know what to expect tonight, we're just glad tonight is over and there's one down and the next one is Saturday.

It's always going to be a game. You have to credit Norwood, they came out and they were hitting their shots and scrapping. We needed to compose ourselves and put together a better 16 minutes in the second.

Everyone right now is out to get us. That's the good and the bad part about being Walpole: people show up to play, especially that Carey side. We're very pleased to get a win out of that one. Now we're just taking it one game at a time. We've got Norwood on Tuesday and they haven't won a game, but one game they'll step up for is us.

They weren't shooting particularly well, we were playing great 'D', however you want to say it, I was very surprised at the first half. I knew (Mansfield) had a lot more going and a lot more in them. I prepared them for the second half -- you are never really prepared -- but (Mansfield) fought hard. They are an excellent team.

I'm not going to say that there wasn't some good defense in there, but it was a sloppy game -- a lot of throwing the ball around the gym and we didn't finish well. It was two close ones, a win and a loss, in a good tournament. It will help us out down the line.
