Dean Shaw Quotations

He's been making plays for them all year. He's a really, really good player. I thought we did a good job in the first quarter, but we dug a hole for ourselves in the second quarter and couldn't get out of it. They had a lot to do with it. They're a mighty fine basketball team.

I thought we did a good job in the first quarter. But we dug ourselves a hole in the second quarter. Gentry had a lot to do with that. They have a good team.

I was just glad we were able to hold onto the basketball as well as we did.

We had to play all 16 minutes of the second half because Coach Hardy and his guys are really good. It was a battle.

We've just got to regroup. What we want is still ahead of us. We just have to work at it.

We've got about six guys averaging between seven and 11 points a game. I don't know how you key in on us.

This was just the kind of game we need at this point. Everybody got to play, and we got to rest some of the starters and that is good in the stretch we are in.

The team last year had a chance to beat Moss Point. Nobody outside of Picayune thought we could do this. Words can't describe what I'm feeling toward these guys.

Alan Moran broke the ice. Those were two big baskets for us right there.

They've really been some overachievers, big-time. I'm just extremely proud of my team. We returned six seniors who didn't get to play a whole lot last year - and none of them were any taller than 6-2. But the kids played their hearts out all year.

I'm extremely proud of this team. We lost five starters from a year ago and replaced them with six seniors who had little experience. They fought hard and played with a lot of heart. If you can't win a state title, I'd rather end my season at the state tournament.

He's made plays for them all year long. He's a good player.
