Laurie Pirtle Kids Quotations

We really had worked hard this week on getting ready and the kids really came through with the execution of our zone and made them go man to man. I thought both teams had fought really, really hard.

We were 10-1 and playing with a lot of confidence. We wanted the kids to see the best team in the conference and see how it's going to be.

Our kids showed a lot of passion in our comeback and I'm proud of the way they fought to put the game into overtime. We got aggressive with our press and knocked them back on their heels.

The kids really hung together in a tough environment tonight.

I think it was a hard-fought game and both teams showed a lot of guts to play aggressive basketball. Our kids showed a lot of passion and pulling together to come back the way we did to tie it up and take it to overtime.

We were going up against a team that plays almost exclusively zone and our kids really came through with the execution. We were able to take them out of what they wanted to do.

The overtime was an emotional issue. Our kids were shell-shocked that we were in that situation.
