Bob McIntyre Quotations

We opened the second half on an 8-0 run and we're down two points, 27-25. And it strayed close like that throughout. Entering the fourth quarter, we're down four. They went into their patented delay; we ran out of gas. We just couldn't get the lead.

I told our kids (the win) wouldn't be as big as a district game, because district games get you to the state tournament, and it obviously wouldn't be as important as a playoff game, but from where we were, at this point of the season, it was as important a game as we've played in a number of years this early.

I told our kids it was obvious from the crowd and Gallup that they were in a game. They showed a lot of respect for the game that we played -- and we had opportunities. We had some really good looks ... We played well enough to win.

We saw Las Cruces in the APS tournament. We didn't play them. Of course, Lori (Stephenson, Cibola head coach) played them (in a 63-39 LKCHS win in Las Cruces on Jan. 14). That'll help out; she'll give me tape.

Hopefully, they'll be OK by Thursday. There's different stuff going around. Megan was dizzy; she said she was sick.

I like the fact that Bryan has played a lot of kids, because it bodes well for the future for them.

She did a great job. She's been playing as well as she's been playing all year, the last two games, against Roswell and Clovis, and Cibola here. She played a heck of a game not to foul out.

We played two good teams. It's nice for our kids to get away.

The Cibola game is for the No. 2 seed.

We were down 15-10 at halftime. The Roswell coach told me if you could hold them under 50 points, that'd be amazing.
