John Peterson Kids Quotations

They are young and we are experienced. Their kids played so hard. Our guys played hard and everybody scored.

I've been pretty proud of teams before. But against a really great program that we really respect, we played a great game. The kids did a great job of running the offense.

I thought we were really impatient in the first half; (Raymond) was zoning up and we wanted to get the ball to the baseline and reverse it. We didn't do a good job of that. When we did run it, we scored. At halftime, we discussed it and the kids responded. We played pretty well in the third quarter.

We weren't mentally prepared to play basketball. It was as simple and as complicated as that. On a good point, the kids gathered themselves in the second half and came back and did a fairly good job.

It makes me want to puke; we had them and we let it slip away. I love the kids and I feel bad for them. They're fighters. They'll give their effort (today).
