Carl Bailey Quotations

Odessa High's the hottest team in the state. They've got everything going, they're playing good defense. They're spreading people out with their offense and beating people.

He's a great teacher and coach. His players are very well-skilled in fundamentals, and that made them tougher than most of us. Plus, he had talent. Combine that with his coaching, and you have an undefeated (regular) season. He did a remarkable job.

Guyton's a scoring machine. He's incredible. He's one of the best scorers I've seen this year.

I think we know each other pretty well. The players have been going against each other for years. I was just anxious to see if we could play with (the Rams) and I think we can.

I'm still looking for a home, so right now I'm just happy to have a roof above my head.

We battled. The officials didn't call much. There was a lot of pushing and shoving, but we battled. We like to play that way anyway.

Dowdy played exceptional. We had some guys in foul trouble and he came in and did a great job, hit some key free throws. When we got that little lead (in the fourth quarter), we went spread and they couldn't handle our guards and we also got a couple easy baskets.

It seems like all five guys can score. They're going to give us lots of problems.

That probably was the game. We had shots -- they just didn't go in.
