Tony Fannick Quotations

If we had a few more minutes, who knows. Tonight the best team won, but I couldn't be any more proud of my team.

He does have another level that he goes to. Some games you just have to jump on and enjoy the ride.

We try to go to the basket as much as we can. If you?re going to play defense as aggressively as they played, you?re going to pick up fouls. That?s just the way it is.

We told our guys that if we played soft, they would beat us. When we did play soft, they went ahead. But when we played tough, we were able to pull the game out.

I thought they did an excellent job on defense. The refs did a great job. They were very consistent. It's a championship game and the players should decide the outcome. Tonight, the players decided the outcome.

Our game plan was to spread the floor and try to keep the score in the 40s or 50s. We were able to do that. I thought our guys played as well as they could.

People have to keep their composure. That?s part of the game. ... But they?re kids, and they?re playing and they make mistakes.

I thought (Montoursville) played like a team playing for their playoff lives. I'm glad our guys responded out there. We matched their intensity.

We got a little anxious for about a two-minute spurt (in the third). But other than those couple of minutes, our guys ... played a great game.

We got plays from big guys when we needed to. That?s the sign of a team that?s improving.

I've never seen one player demand so much attention. He has changed this season's defensive philosophies in an attempt to slow him down. I've never seen it happen to someone this young.

They sure carried me in the first half. These guys stepped up big when I couldn't do anything. They were there every step of the way. We were able to make good plays when we needed to.

There were a couple of minutes where it got away from us there. But I?m very proud of the way our guys played.

There were two things that killed us. We couldn't score enough points and we couldn't stop their guards from penetrating.

It's an honor to be on a list of such great athletes across the state.

I tried not to let it get to be a burden. It looked like the pressure was getting to me in the first half.

The big guys (on both teams) were in there slugging back and forth. Fortunately, we were able to be standing at the end.

If I didn't get 1,000 (on Friday) and it meant we won the game, fine. If I didn't reach 1,000 this season, fine. Just so we keep winning.
