Jerry Mackey Quotations

We're not good enough to have defensive lapses. Normally, when we score 59 points, that's enough. Offensively, we're doing some good things, but defensively it looks like a circus sometimes.

He had 16 of his 18 points when the game was still close. We had trouble trying to defend him. He hit two threes and a bunch of pull-up jumpers. It was a pretty impressive display by him.

Jordan made some great saves early. M-E certainly deserved to beat us by more than 1-0.

We executed and were able to get the ball to the right people.

We have a history of success and tradition of doing well in sectionals. Its good the girls get a sense of what we're doing. I think the girls are seeing if they do what they are responsible for, we can achieve success.

As good as we played against Johnson City, it was the opposite today, especially in the first half. We didn't sustain any possession, our spacing was off and we got back into kickball mode.

All along I knew our intentions were to be better at the end of the year. Sometimes you can get caught up game-to-game situations. We are getting better. The first time (M-E) dominated us and we clearly didn't belong. We belonged there today.

They scored late and we didn't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. It's a good positive result heading into sectionals.

They were very excited, but then trying to make sure defensively we did what we had to do. It seemed like the clock didn't go fast enough ? especially for us because we've given up a lot of late goals this year.

It's nice to think back on that time period. It definitely brings back a lot of smiles.
