Andy Mangin Quotations

We're still in it. I don't want second place. None of these guys do either.

This was a solid win. In a close game, we did a good job of executing in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime. All of our shots were within four feet.

Milan played well. They're a scrappy bunch. I was happy to get out of there with a win.

Now that we have them, we're going to be all right.

He's a shooter. Everybody knows he can shoot it.

It basically came down to we had the ball at the end. Jason made a nice little move to the basket and drew the foul while he was shooting. It was a smart move to take the ball inside.

People might think I'm crazy, but he's the best point guard in the league. He's a great passer and my best defender.

That doesn't mean anything now. Those games are meaningless.

My mom always says free throws win games and that's what it came down to. They made their free throws and we didn't. That was the game right there.

We're really playing as a team right now. We're starting to play to our strengths. Guys who handle the ball are handling the ball. Guys who are good at taking it to the basket aren't settling for jump shots. We're rebounding well, too.

We didn't come here just to come here. We're good and we play a tough schedule. I wanted to represent the Huron League, because everybody thinks we're just a football league.

We seem to play better on the road ­ more as a team. It's just an us against them mentality. It draws us together. This team is really starting to come together.

We had to beg him to shoot. The thing about Jason is that he does the little things. He really thinks the game.

We just ran out of gas. Our goal all year was to get better every game and we did that. I expect to be back here next year.

This one was for him. We miss him being around. I'm used to him sitting behind the bench for every game.

Even the guys that didn't score made major contributions. We didn't talk much about Riverview's streak before the game. We were more concerned about keeping on a roll going into Districts. Even if we didn't win tonight, we would have been on a roll.

I've been waiting for Jay to have a game like that. He's a fierce competitor and he has a great attitude. We've been playing some really good teams lately and he got a little flustered, but tonight he did exactly what you want from a senior.

I've never had a point guard get a double-double before. He just keeps getting better and better.

They scrapped and clawed and hit some big threes. It was a typical Flat Rock-CC game, right down to the wire.

They're deeper than we are. Johnson's good. I didn't think he was that good but he's good. We had tired legs in the fourth. But the credit goes to them. They played well.

Then we missed 5-of-6 free throws and they made four in a row. We played well and they played well. I'm not disappointed. We played hard and were aggressive.

It was a good effort. We could've went out and messed around, but we didn't. We took care of business. We didn't take them for granted. We respect everybody we play.

It was over the first four minutes of the game. The starters only played the first quarter, so they'll be rested for Saturday.

The fans from both sides were all shaking their heads when they left after this game. It was just a total team effort. It belongs on ESPN Classic.

I'm going to miss all of them. Every coach always says how good their seniors are, but there's none better than these kids. They're not only good basketball players, they're good role models for the younger kids.

He's probably the best freshman I've ever seen around here.

These kids are starting to believe in themselves a little more and more each game. We're going to enjoy it tonight, but we've got to come back ready to play Thursday.

These guys expected it. They went out champions in my book and that's the way I'll always look at it.
