All I know is I've been coaching at Manteo for 17 years, and I couldn't be prouder of a group of kids. They came up here under some serious stress and a hostile crowd and showed their true grit.
It's the same thing night in and night out. If our guards aren't playing well, we struggle. We just came out of the gate wanting to launch 3-pointers instead of taking it to the basket. We were lucky to have a one-point lead at the end of the quarter.
I told him (Davis) to take it. I said 'You're open, you got to take it' and he turned down two or three shots in the first quarter, and he came out and hit three in a row.
They (Creswell) came out and played hard. I told our guys you have a bull's eye on your chest, and we're the ones they're after.
