E. Helm Team Quotations

Both teams played pretty good defense, but Midland ran their offense better than we ran ours. We're not going to beat a good team and Midland is a good team if we don't run our offense and execute.

It's an important game for us. We lost a road game and we've got a home game against a team that's certainly a playoff contender. We make them one step closer to (the Region V Tournament in) Lubbock if they win.

Sean probably won't practice for two days. We're going to try to nurse him and get him ready to go for Thursday. We felt this was important to try to go with him, and he fought. When he went out of the game, we couldn't get a four man to try to run our offense. And if you don't run your offense, you're not going to beat a team as good as Midland.

It's real big, especially with a young team like this, you can just see the atmosphere in the clubhouse when they win. Everybody is so happy. When you lose with a young team, it seems like guys get down a little more. We try to help out with that the best way we can.
