Von Graffin Quotations

We failed miserably at winning the league title, but we still can go for a district title.

Obviously, in the second half, we handled their pressure a lot better. We had 15 turnovers in the first half and five in the second. Our kids battled. They kept bringing it and bringing it and bringing it.

I think the light bulb is starting to go on for Jordan. He's beginning to use his size and quickness to his advantage, but I thought he kind of lost his legs in the second half.

We were up four and they came right back and got a 3 in transition and got right back in it. This was a tough one.

Without ever having a lead we were scrambling. The guys we played played a lot of minutes.

We finished tonight and I had talked about how we didn't finish in the other two games. We felt they didn't beat us, but it was more that we lost the games.

We lost a couple of close ones to Perrysburg, including one that went to triple overtime. We jumped out to a big lead and I really liked the way we finished. Perrysburg was scoring about 71 points a game and we held them to 44.

We are used to getting open without a whole lot of effort in our league (the Northern Lakes League). Those guys switch screens hard and they jump out on you. You've got to be that much better execution-wise.

As I recall, Gregg didn't have everyone. We got them at a good time. Besides, sum- mer time is summer time. This is when it counts.

They made one more play than we did. It was a heck of a pass and a heck of a catch. If it goes in, we're celebrating right now. But it was a great environment here tonight. Our kids competed and that's all I can ask of them.

They are quicker than anyone we play. I compared them to East Chicago Central, a team we played at a holiday tournament. They are the quickest team we have played and they are the most athletic team we have played.
