Chad Williams Quotations

The possibility is there, but I have a hard time thinking they'll do it in basketball.

We were at the West End and catching them throughout the day. There were big fish on the beds everywhere.

He's (Gray) such a tough kid, and he did a nice job on Harrison tonight. He still got his buckets, but he worked for every one of them, and I'm accepting two threes that he hit because it was my fault, because I thought it would be a really good thing to play zone, and he showed me it probably wasn't a good thing.

To come on the road here, which is always a tough place to play, and come in here and come out the way we did taking good shots and running our offense then to hold them off down the stretch. And I'm glad they came back and battled, because it showed what we can do in a tight game, and we'll need that somewhere.

Life's only limitations are those you set upon yourself, for as long as you strive hard enough anything is achievable.

Jesse competes very well. We haven't been playing a lot of defense behind him. Tonight our defense showed up and played behind him. I thought he did an excellent job on the mound.

People are moving here and they're getting involved in the community. Their kids are playing baseball and softball and taking advantage of the recreation activities.

I think it would be a step in the right direction for the program, and no one is going to give us anything.

We shouldn't miss a beat. I know we're going to lose a playmaker, but we should be all right. I'm a playmaker, but Ed's on a whole other level. You just have to take the plays as they come and make the right plays at the right time.

We don't box out on the free throw line, he gets it up and throws in a prayer and makes it. It goes from being 15-7 to 15-10 at the buzzer when all we got to do is box out on the free throw line.

We've got to compete for berths in a 2A/3A league, and we have one loss to a team not at or above our standing. I don't think it's an even factor, but as far as my kids, they deserve it (to go).

You hate to point out certain things in the game that change the momentum, but we're in a situation where we really got to trap, so we really don't put anybody on the ball out of bounds. Because we had to trap and put someone on the ball, it was right after the offensive foul, and he (O'Neil) has to come out, and the person who comes in gets beat backdoor.

You go to bed thinking will we get in or will we be shut out? If it's not enough, then the conference tournament will be our state playoffs.

That's what you can count on with me. I'm a guy who knows his role, knows his job, is going to get the job done and makes the least mistakes possible.

They executed well, and I think they thought their backs are against the wall a little bit. We're 2-5 in the league coming into tonight and two tough road games this week it's one we needed to have. I told them you got five minutes to enjoy this one, and that's it. When you walk out of here this game's over.

They have no visible weaknesses. They beat us in every phase of the game.

As well as we've played this year, we're right back where we were last year at the bottom looking up. Not that I think we're a bottom of the league team but that's where we are. We're 9-4 overall, but two of those losses come in the league.

A bunch of us wanted to help out and are ready to do it again for Friday's game, if we don't get the rain that's predicted.

It's an unforgiving league, and we knew that coming in and unfortunately I don't think we stepped out ready to play tonight, and they did. Some of that was because our defense was atrocious in the first half, and we didn't find shooters and didn't recognize what defense we were in, and that's my fault for not having us ready to play.

Their defense really frustrated us a lot of times, and they were really active. It's very uncharacteristic of him to act like that and it's something I don't condone, and he knows it as well as I do, and he'll pay for it tomorrow at practice. That's a credit to their defense, because they really had us frustrated.

I'm proud of the win but I'm even more proud in the way that we won. We made some stupid mistakes tonight but we overcame them. We never quit, and we got the win because of that.

He's (Preston) finally playing a little with his back to the basket. We've been harping to try and get him in the paint, and he's finally starting to do that a little.

I didn't know what to think when he came in, but it's all good. It's been a great experience. He'll pull me aside and tell me stuff, not just about football, but about life itself.

The home run was the icing on the cake. It gave us even more momentum going into the bottom half of the inning.
