Wayne Harre Quotations

We both survived. It's all about surviving now, and getting to the next round of games. I'm sure both teams are happy to be playing yet.

Most people were thinking, 'They'll be OK, but I don't know if they can accomplish what teams in years past have done. I think they were kind of on a mission because of that.

If this is not the best tournament in the state, I'd like to see what is. I bet there's 10 to 12 quality teams there that could win it, if they get hot.

I thought we'd have to go zone to slow things down a little bit. I'll be honest, that's the longest zone we've played in four or five years. When it works, you have to keep doing it.

I thought our schedule paid off tonight. Playing all of those close games, and playing like every possession meant something.

We didn't shoot the ball well, I know that, but at the same time, we know we have to play defense. That's the one thing that has been instilled in our program over the years. If we don't shoot the ball well, we knows that happens. We try not to get frustrated. We just try to play great defense on the other end.

When I saw them play, I thought they were just tremendously underrated. They have two girls that are very good and could play for anybody. I knew they would give us a battle.

They don't get too high or too low. I think the last few minutes was the most excited any of them have gotten in a game situation. It made me feel good. I told them after the game, 'That's great. Let's get a little excited here.

They didn't change a whole lot. They're still playing mostly zone defense, and they're big. There will be few surprises. Whoever executes the best will win the game.

It's a credit to (Richard) coming off the bench to hit those 3s. It's also a credit to the people that came in the game for her and gave us a chance to win it.

It's three River-to-River teams and a Black Diamond Conference team. I think the girls basketball in this conference has gotten a lot better with us going to state three (of the last five) years, Sparta being very talented and Herrin being in the sectional two years in a row now.

It's really about the individual. Can that individual take a little contact, or do they shy away from contact? I call it the personality of that individual. We've had both at Nashville. You really can't change a personality. Either they shy away or they do it.

Anytime you make a run in the postseason, you are going to games that go down to the last shot or the last minute of the game. It just happens that way in the postseason. That's what makes it so exciting. You're going to have a game like that, and sometimes you have more than one.
